The Amalfi Coast is Gorgeous!

On the 3rd Jan we caught a train and a bus to the Amalfi coast south of Naples on the West coast, staying the night in a little place called Atrani. We walked up to some villages nestled in the cliffs and watched the moon rise, then walked down to Amalfi for dinner. The wind was blowing a bit and the windy road a bit scary at times but came down via dark staircases so more danger of tripping than being run over.
The next morning arrived bright and sunny so we caught a bus along the coast to Sorrento, the road is skinny and follows the coast so a few times we were stuck in a traffic jam because the bus couldn't fit past another bus or truck and one would have to back up (not always obligingly!) There's the option of hiring a scooter but I wouldn't advise it after seeing a few close calls with scooters vs cars!
From Sorrento we caught a train back to Naples and 6 small rooms.
The next morning 5th Jan we were up very early to catch a city bus to the train station for a 6:30am train to Roma. Once there we went to the bank, did internet stuff, ate and got on our respective trains to our respective airports. Peter's heading direct to Cairo while I go via London. Stopped in at Shona and Lloyds (Shona very sick poor thing) to pick up some of my things, do washing, buy a sleeping bag and repack, I sent a box of things home (long wool coat from Ireland not likely to be needed in Egypt and Thailand!). Then flight to Cairo and the Pharoahs hotel.
