With the political issues & demonstrations in Turkey, we’ve decided to stick to Italy. Why leave such a beautiful place anyway?!?! And it’s a good thing we didn’t make a bunch of reservations because here’s what we’re looking at now!

We had the most wonderful day in Amalfi. We found another hiking trail & it led us to the most incredible place! I felt like few people had walked where we were. We really have figured out what we like best, and it’s hiking.

AND I GOT TO SHOP!! Nothing too fabulous, but we picked up some souvenirs for the kids & a couple of things for us too.

The Amafi Coast is an area that is ridiculous, but in a great way!!! The beauty is indescribable. We took a bus from Praiano to Amalfi today & it was quite an experience to be on a one-lane road, in a bus..on a cliff, meeting another bus on the same one-lane road…same cliff. And somehow they make it work. Some buses have to back up while others wait…its almost like another “horn” language. And the whole time scooters are zipping through. They really do honk at each other & seem to understand what the other is honking about. Their driving skills are remarkable!

Amalfi is peaceful and beautiful and we must return someday. We both agreed, this will not be our only trip to Italy!
