Looking for Audrey Hepburn
Buonasera!
We finally made it to the start of the Amalfi Coast. Three interesting situations presented themselves to us today. 1) A few miles after leaving the morning's hotel, we were flagged over by the Italian Federal Police. We dutifully pulled over. An officer approached me demanding something. As he was speaking Italian, I had no clue as to what he was asking. I gave him the deer in the headlights look and asked if ...

We finally left Amalfi and headed south to our next stop in Paestum. There is a great museum and ancient town built by the Greeks in 500BC to check out. There are 3 big Greek temples there also. Temple of Ceres, temple of Neptune, and temple of Hera. Very impressive!
Tomorrow is a driving day with no major tourist stops. After that we take the ferry to Sicily.

Praja
... the sea was fairly rough and she pointed out how to get to the beach. So we went there and ate some fresa, which was pretty good, some hard bread soaked in water and topped with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, eggplant, olives, tuna and some other pickled stuff that we couldn't work out what it was! We then went to visit the town and afterwards we went back to the beach to watch the sunset. This is when I got the ...
