Photo Friday: Spring Arrives in Amalfi

It’s official. Spring has arrived in Amalfi! After a long and quiet winter, the tourist buses have arrived, bringing with them the beginning of another busy season. Today many of the top hotels along the Amalfi Coast, from the San Pietro in Positano to the Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi, are opening their doors again. While the season is getting off to a slow start this year, this row of buses all neatly lined up was a good sign that it will pick up in April. A lot of people in Amalfi and along the coastline depend on tourism for their living, so here’s hoping it will be a great spring!

      Ciao Eleonora! Sì … addio tranguillità … but it is also nice to see the season starting. So many people here, including us, survive on tourism, so I’ll be the last one to complain. 🙂 Great news …… would LOVE to meet you in person! Keep me posted on your plans. 🙂

    If only tourists were able to reach Amalfi without their ugly buses. 🙂

      I think by boat is the most scenic way to arrive! But that limits the times of year one can visit since the boat service doesn’t run very long. It should be starting up in a couple of weeks though. I’m looking forward to taking the ferry to Positano to see the wisteria blooming! 🙂

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
