Photo Friday: Royal Clipper in Amalfi

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Royal Clipper

 

Summer in Amalfi brings with it some of the most beautiful cruise boats, which stop in Amalfi’s harbor for a day or two. The most extraordinary is the Royal Clipper, the largest fully-rigged sailing ship in the world. With five masts and 42 sails, everyone in Amalfi stops to stare when the Royal Clipper comes into port. Earlier this summer it stopped in Amalfi on a windy Sunday afternoon, when I just happened to be sitting on the rocks watching a storm brewing off in the distance.

Fortunately, the storm held off until all the passengers and tenders made it back to the Royal Clipper before it sailed away. Maybe next time I’ll catch a glimpse of those beautiful sails. Happy Friday and a good weekend to everyone!

    Thanks so much, Gil! 🙂

    Ciao Linda! It's one of the most beautiful that comes into Amalfi. I would love to see the inside! Hope you had a lovely weekend, too!

    Ciao Scintilla! Oooooh… hope you post that photo on your blog so I can see it. I've only seen it with sails up once, two summers ago. I must have missed it sailing by!

Even within the private terraced gardens, it’s remarkably secluded. Walking through the gardens, I couldn’t imagine the great good fortune of being able to write and create here as Gore Vidal did for over 30 years. This is a place that certainly inspires!

Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coa Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coast after the tragic bus accident this morning in Ravello where Nicola Fusco, a young bus driver only 29 years old, lost his life. Investigations are currently underway to determine the cause and I won’t share the upsetting details. The road to Ravello is currently closed and it’s not clear when it will reopen. Nicola was a kind, talented, and experienced driver—the third generation of drivers in his family—a family very close to ours. My husband has been a guide with all three generations and watched Nicola grow up. This is something that shouldn’t happen, shouldn’t ever happen, but it’s something we all fear here. Our hearts are with the Fusco family and to everyone who Nicola’s life touched. 🖤

Here was a quiet moment in Atrani before the celebrations began. ⚽️
