Amalfi

Off to Pompeii – it was interesting but a little disappointing, not at all like we had imagined. There were lots of school students and other tourists. We ended up in Naples on the way back, missing the turn to Sorrento and Amalfi. Naples is just a big city, bit dirty so we decided not to linger but to hit the coast and drive back to Maiori via Sorrento and Amalfi. What a drive! The coast was magnificent but the roads are so narrow, Ken did well not to take out another car. Sorrento was the pick of the towns on the coast but Maiori was good for a base as it was much easier to get around and was pretty with some nice restaurants. Well done Amalfi-would not recommend it-not a patch on Aussie beaches (black sand) and so hard to get around.
