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 …

I went in the cable car with 3 others who I normally sit with at dinner. So began the 40 minute ride up the mountain. A very confined space inside the cable car.
