The Amalfi Coast {Day 3}

nov19

On Day 3, we drove into the town of Amalfi, parked the car and explored a little bit. Then we decided to take the public bus along the Amalfi Coast drive (instead of braving it ourselves). We hopped onboard and headed in the direction of Positano. We were absolutely amazed at the curvy, narrow road and the bus driver’s ability to maneuver a full-size city bus through tight streets and hairpin turns against impatient opposing traffic, all on the face of a sheer cliff. The ride itself was the adventure of the day. When we finally made it to Positano, we took another bus town into the cliff side town and found a cute café for a light lunch. Then we hiked back up to the main road, stopping to take some pictures behind us of the amazing town. We boarded the bus back to Amalfi just as a rainstorm started dumping down on us. The rain was moving towards Amalfi so when we arrived, we stopped in a café for ice cream, did a little Lemoncello shopping and then headed back to our rental house. That night for dinner we drove one town up the cliff and found an unassuming little pizzeria with the best mushroom ravioli I’ve ever had! It was a family-owned little place and the desserts were homemade and insanely good. You just never know when you will surprised by some delicious Italian food! Luckily it happens to us quite often!
