Amalfi Coast, Salerno (Italy)

Nicky and I were really jazzed up after the experience last night. I was hoping she may have gotten over here initial anger about missing the Venice experience to see the place where Grammy's family came from... At least we had something good planned for today - a trip down the beautiful Amalfi Coast. Most people I know have travelled to Sorrento (on the Naples side), but the drive down from Salerno was definitely a different (and special) experience to have with Nicky. I guess you could say this was like a real honeymoon for us - we never really went anywhere fancy when we got married. We stopped in many small towns and had a delicious lunch in a fire-burned pizza restaurant called Altamarea di Caso Antonio. Nicky bought some pretty ceramic angels - one for each of the girls. Hairpin turns were the watchword - even with huge tour busses coming the other way! Nicky grabbed the Oscar Sierra handles many times before the day was done. We really didn't want the day to end, but we headed back to Mercogliano (Titino Green Park Hotel) at sunset. We have just one more day before we need to head back to Rome.
