After breakfast we made our way to the bus stop in order to catch the bus to Amalfi where we intended to catch a water bus to Salerno. Once again the bus did not arrive as scheduled but on this occasion we only had to wait 30 minutes. The boat trip was enjoyable, stopping off [...]

Ravello – Day Six
This morning I had forgotten to put the alarm on but, luckily, I woke up anyway. Straight after breakfast we made our way to the bus stop to try our luck at catching a bus to Amalfi. After a few minutes we learned from someone else in the queue that the bus had left seven [...]

Ravello – Day Five
Mr C slept in again which meant that there was slightly less choice for breakfast because, apart from standard options, when an item was gone it was not being replenished. On our way out of the hotel we enquired about visiting the hotel garden which is at the back of the cookery school and we [...]
