A walk from Bomerano to Amalfi
We set off quite early from Bomerano. This first part consisted of road, and very many descending steps of various depths. I quickly realised my boots and worn out orthotics were not assisting me at all. The compensating factor was the amazing scenery.
We left the continuous man made steps and found ourselves more in the countryside, where Teresa, our leader pointed out varieties of wild orchids and garlic.
The terrain became very uneven and I found it hard to keep my footing. I was also starting to find the uphill sections tiring, not helped by the recent chest infection. The efforts were rewarded by stunning views.
We eventually came to a restaurant perched on the cliffs and my group leader, Teresa advised me against doing the next section, which was even more challenging. Disappointed as I was I could see the sense in this, especially as I had the opportunity to catch a bus to Amalfi, our ultimate destination
,
The vies from here were typically spectacular.
The innkeeper gave me a lift to the town centre, which was surprisingly busy
After a little wait the bus to Amalfi arrived. One can only marvel at the skill of these drivers as they spin on a sixpence around each hairpin bend.
After some clever negotiating by the driver we arrived in Amalfi.
