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
