Amalfi Coast Travel Spring Mimosa-4

A Straight Shot of Spring on the Amalfi Coast

It has been a rainy weekend on the Amalfi Coast, and we're all wondering just what happened to spring. It seemed like it had arrived early when the mimosa bloomed at the beginning of February. March and the first half of April were picture perfect nearly every day. Then at the end of April it seems ...

Buon Primo Maggio!

As I sit down to write this morning, rain is pouring down on the Amalfi Coast and low clouds have turned my view into nothing but white. Spring arrived early this year, but the last couple of weeks have been a most unwelcome return to winter. Yet the rains will clear and when the sun shines ...

It Italy there's an old saying "marzo è pazzo," that March is crazy, and I've overheard quite a few people saying that it's not just March. For every hazy, grey day another brilliant spring day ...

Leave me alone with a view like that and some sort of photographic device and you can bet that I'll try to capture it in some way. That's what I did with my several year old simple Samsung phone this morning when looking out at the blue sky and sea. What a glorious spring day! It's just so ...

Wisteria in Positano

Spring came late and all at once this year. The villages along the Amalfi Coast went straight from overcast wintry days to the buzz of activity rushing to prepare for the busy season seemingly overnight. The flowers loved all the rain and suddenly burst in bloom last month. Speaking of flowers, ...

On a Sunny Saturday in April

It amazes me each spring just how quickly we can forget certain things. Dinner with the gas heater blazing by the table for warmth, the hot water bottle (or cat) sitting on my lap to keep my fingers warm enough to keep typing and that old "for the rain it raineth every day" attitude. But then one ...

Ready for the Beach

Yesterday afternoon I looked down and saw that the Marina Grande beach in Amalfi had been prepared for the summer with its pebbles neatly raked back into place and a freshly painted blue walkway leading down to the sea. It was fun catching the geometric pattern of the rocks, because it certainly ...

A Magical Evening on the Amalfi Coast

Thick white clouds were billowing in off the sea and snaking their way up the mountains. This only happens when the temperature ...

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. ⚽️
