what I like about the continent is they haven't spoilt the costal regions with ghastly modernisation and buildings which are an eyesore...theve done modernisation but in keeping

Those are outstanding shots, Mark. You know your way around with a camera. I'm always interested in the shopping areas with narrow little streets closed to traffic and serving as pedestrian walk ways. This is a very good example.

I wouldn't say I was an expert photographer, but thank you for the kind words. I'll see what other pics of side streets I can find

Normally we would now be returning to Sorrento over the top of the peninsula from Ravello, but as we set off we were flagged down & told that there had been a serious accident on the Salerno-Naples road which we would have gone along at one point. We didn't know it at the time, but it made the news back in the UK, & it got our children & families trying to call us later that night to see if we were OK, as all it said on the news was 'coach crash in Naples area, several fatalities' . Anyway, the road closure meant that we would have to drop back down to Amalfi & then cut across the top on a very narrow road. (Coaches only travel west to east on the coast road that we'd come along in the morning, with the exception of the bus service) Here we go... We go through that village in the distance... See the road? Last view of the Amalfi Coast, before we crossed the top of the peninsula & headed into Sorrento

Monday, and a free day. Some folk went off to visit Vesuvius, but we decided to have a mooch around Sorrento In the area near the swimming pool of our hotel, look what I saw... Is that a...? Yes it is! The bugger could move quickly too! Anyway, moving on... The 'original' Sorrento was actually in a valley, which is now full of ferns The bottom of this hole is level with the harbour - that gap where the road to/from the harbour from the town now runs was once the access, but it was filled in & closed off as the new town on top of the cliffs was built
