Creative driving 101

Even seaside villages like Positano have a gas station burrowed into the cliff ... and it is great sport watching Italian drivers jockey into line while avoiding the next bus looming around the corner.

I had to do a bit of jockeying myself to make it up some of the hairpin roads to the top ...


and then considered the odds of making it unscathed,

considering the condition of every ...
... single

... vehicle on this coast.





And now that I've made it to Amalfi ... I discover the only hostel in Amalfi is actually in Atrani, the next village. And it's a hair-raising 200-metre stroll around the bend. Luckily, I make it there in time to get a bed just as the town wakes up and local trolls take over the central square in a battle with firecrackers and shrieks of glee. Amalfitani lasagna - mmmm ... Wish I could waft the aroma from this kitchen your way ...
