Looking for Audrey Hepburn
... br>
We opted for the direct route this morning as the two longer routes were very long and included 100 to 120 K of auto strata riding. The direct route took us on secondary roads along the coast and sounded much more pleasant. An ocean breeze cooled us as we rode and looked for the next hooker hangout. Once we hit the Amalfi Coast, sandy beaches turned to shear rock cliffs diving into the bluest sea you have ever ...
Naples, Amalfi coast and Paestum temples

Part of the road was covered with mud and ...

Paestum
... around 10:00 AM and met up with our tour guide for the day, Silvia Braggio. She absolutely MADE our trip - she gave us an overwhelming amount of information and really made the site come alive. Paestum is further South than Sorrento, and is the site of some of the best preserved Greek ruins in the world. There are three Greek temples still standing - they are around 2500 years old! There are also a lot of Roman ruins at the site, but ...
