Two and a half hours on the train thirty minutes on the ferry and we have arrived - in Amalfi. The hotel room isn't as posh as last night's but has a balcony that overlooks the seafront. Looked around this small Town and like all of these Towns is a mix of old and new. Old streets and passageways and new merchandise for the tourists. The tourists are in constant supply, being ferried in on highway buses. The restaurants here impose a cover charge, that means no tip but they don't seem to care.
The roads here are a challenge even for the locals and as we noticed on a bus trip to Revello, twenty minutes up the hill, even the locals seem to be intimidated by them. As we are not driving who cares. But they had better be clear on Sunday morning, we have a train to catch. An indication of the roads - the bus takes ninety minutes to travel 22 KMs to Salerno!
Back into the Town tonight - a distance of about two hundred metres and four floors down, you definitely do not need a cab in this Town.
