Big News … Moon Amalfi Coast 2nd Edition Coming Out in 2021!

Amidst the stress and challenges that 2020 has presented there has been one very welcome surprise. Earlier this year I received an unexpected email from Moon Travel Guides, the publisher of my guidebook Moon Amalfi Coast with Capri, Naples & Pompeii. Thanks to all of the lovely people who have purchased my book, it has been selling well and they asked if I could start on updates for the second edition. Already the second edition!

It’s exciting to have the chance to work on the guidebook again and to add in new finds, expand some areas with more detailed tips, and update it to make it an even more useful guide for travelers. Even though it’s a very hard year for businesses on the Amalfi Coast, I’ve found it encouraging to be taking time right now to look forward with hope. The one constant in all of the conversations I’ve had with business owners is the hope that next year will be better. This hope is what will carry us through the winter season ahead!

My hope is that when the second edition of Moon Amalfi Coast is released that we will all be able to travel safely again. I don’t have an exact release date yet for the next edition, but it will be in the second half of 2021. If you’re planning a trip to the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Ischia, Sorrento, or Naples before then, the first edition of Moon Amalfi Coast will help you plan your dream trip. Remember, you can also follow me on Instagram or Facebook for more stories and travel ideas while I’m out and about (or most likely at my desk) updating the guidebook.

A huge thank you to everyone who has bought a copy of Moon Amalfi Coast for yourself or given it as a gift. You all have made this possible and I’m grateful to have the opportunity once again to pour my love for the Amalfi Coast and Campania into the next edition!

When I walked by this ceramic table in Praiano, it When I walked by this ceramic table in Praiano, it reminded me of one of my favorite Italian words: garbuglio. It means a tangle or a mess. But not just any mess, a conspicuous and intricate mess. I think we can all find a few of those around these days. Now you know what to call it in Italian!
Completely unplanned, I ended up getting off the b Completely unplanned, I ended up getting off the bus in Pontone this morning instead of Minuta. The steps up between these two hamlets of Scala are quite steep, but it was a perfect autumn morning. Brilliant sun but a cool north breeze and the air full of the honeyed scent of sweet alyssum (which I can spot thanks to Giacomo from @cookeatsquare!) and birdsong. As a little reward to myself for the unexpected effort, I meandered a bit to enjoy the crimson vines and some sunflowers dancing in the breeze. Autumn is coming - even on the Amalfi Coast! 🍂
You have to look close for any signs of autumn in You have to look close for any signs of autumn in Amalfi. Surrounded mostly by olive, lemon, pines, and other types of evergreen trees, we don’t have much for fall foliage right in the center of town. Oh but I look! In the golden moments of the morning just as the sun hits Amalfi for the first time, I’m out there imagining autumn colors. 🍂

Mmmhmm autumn is definitely my favorite season. 🧡 This morning I woke up a bit earlier than my alarm and looked outside somewhat perplexed. The entire sky, the town—everything—had a burnt orange hue. A hurried lacing up of the shoes and still bleary eyed, but I just had to see it better for myself. It was a glorious sunrise. Now the rain has just gently started falling and I’m in full autumn ecstasy.

Later I’ll return to the piano to pick up where I left off yesterday learning this beautiful autumn waltz by @andreavanzo_composer. 🍂

It was fun to see the grapes on the same vines just before harvest begins. Swipe to the right to see the same grapes back in May. Happy autumn!
