A Little Slice of Heaven
After one of the most confusing journeys from Napoli to Amalfi, which included being led down the side of a cliff to a bus stop by a 15 year old boy and then having a 60 year old lady yell for the bus driver to stop when she found out we were going in the wrong direction, we ended up in the town of Amalfi, right on the coast of Italy.
