Amafi coast

   Well I can't quite dust the mental picture off my mind of that disgustingly dirty town we passed to get to one of the earths must beautiful coastlines. It's gorgeous here, no question about that. But how can it be so close by such an ugly place? 

   The drive has been a spectacular , breath taking and nerve racking expedition. The road has taken us   From sorrento   to positano on a disgustingly narrow  road with harrowing curves and cliffs of death that fall a thousand feet in to the endless Mediterranean. Add to this , crazy and I mean crazy drivers. They drive fast, they don't bother at all to stay in their lanes, they pass on curves and the motor bikes pass both on the right and the left, sometimes at the same time. So I've been trying to admire the beauty all the while hanging on to my seat for dear life and covering my eyes around every corner for fear it will be the last corner I ever wind around.  

  We stopped at a road side stand and I got shamboozled by some guy who tried to charge me 26€ for a watermelon some cherries and a few peaches. It actually hurt my feelings. 

  Well I suspect I like northern Italy more than the south but I'm not completely sure.
