The first sunny weekend on the Amalfi Coast and everyone ... and I mean everyone ... hits the road for a drive. When there's only one road, that can be problematic. But with the Amalfi Coast road, it's always best to pack a little extra patience ... and your camera! Fortunately, there are the views ...
First Day of Autumn on the Amalfi Coast
Happy first day of autumn! Or, at least the calendar says it's the first day of autumn. The weather is a perfect sunny and 75° with a lovely breeze today. Autumn? Well, not quite yet on the Amalfi Coast. September is often one of the most pleasant months of the year, with weather still warm enough ...
The Magic of Sunrise
Early this morning, we made our way around the familiar curves on the way home from the Naples airport.

One might at first question my sanity when I say that I'm really excited about the opening of a new parking garage. But if you've tried to park on the Amalfi Coast before, you'll understand the excitement. While the Amalfi Coast road is considered one of the most scenic drives in the world, the ...
