Going from kick ass Napoli to the Amalfi is the oddest contrast. Napoli, a big agro city that is apparently one of the most continuously inhabited places in the world and the Amalfi, a place inhabited by loud Americans. There is no doubt that the Amalfi deserves its UNESCO World Heritage status. The 40 km Strada Statale 163 would have to be one of the worst and best drives in the world. Seriously stunning scenery but oh dear the winding road and sheer drop. Every turn was like a film set. Some of the most stunningly beautiful coastline I have ever seen. Going continuously from gasping in awe at the scenery to gasping cause I thought I was going to die. The terraces filled with lemon trees line the road, but I just kept wondering how many of these mad drivers have drunk litres of limoncello before taking to the wheel. Positano was filled with holidaying Brits and Amalfi full of very loud Americans. I stuck my air pods in my ears and had a lovely day sunning myself in the wonderful Mediterranean sun listening to the joyous book, the Bay of Noon (thanks Nick for the fabulous suggestion).
