The Amalfi coast is a beautiful peninsula south of Naples. The southern coast of the peninsula is 40km (25 miles) of steep vegetated slopes and rock cliffs. Tiny villages are scattered along the length of the peninsula, clinging to the rocks.
The road along the coast is extremely narrow. Probably one of the most interesting memories I have of our time navigating the coast is due to the narrow roads. We were just about to leave one of the villages, and as we turned a sharp corner we came across two buses trying to pass each other. The buses had met at a particularly narrow part of the road that did a bit of an "S" curve. The houses on each side came right up to the edge. We sat there watching the buses move forward a little, then move back. Slowly they wiggled their way past each other, but how they did this still baffles me.
Along the road there are tiny replicas of the villages clinging to alcoves in the rock cliffs.
