Looking for Audrey Hepburn
... people tell you about how beautiful the Amalfi Coast is, believe them.
Tonight’s hotel is perched on top of a mountaintop with a commanding view of the sea. It’s quite remote and the only sounds you can hear, other than us motorcyclists heading up the mountain road, are the songbirds calling to each other and the lyrical sound of cowbells on the bovine grazing in the pasture next to the hotel.

... we were led to believe was a nice little restaurant - was like a huge unruly canteen. The lasagne was vegetarian, and the glass of wine with lunch was only red wine - no choice of white. At least the coffee was nice :-).
After lunch, I had a look round, climbed up a bit higher, and as I got to the top - down came the rain (no wet weather gear with me!) I climbed back to the restaurant - as we were near the time for coach (& we had a 40 ...
