Amalfi Adventure

Checked out and travelled by train down the coast to Sorrento.  The crowds at the train station were horrendous and with packs and daypacks, we were shunted through onto the train - amongst all the commotion - you guessed it!  Ross's wallet got lifted, he realised the minute the train doors closed - we were shoulder to shoulder until most got off at Pompeii.  We carried on - trying to phone the bank while going in and out of service - no fun I can assure you.   A couple of stops later we had cancelled the credit card and we out of service to cancel the Loaded for Travel card, so just had to hope that the scumbag only wanted the cash...During the second half of the journey on hopped the most delightful father and son team, playing the drums and piano accordian...busking by train - it was great - Ross didn;t feel the love and also had no change to give them, but they were fantastico and I scraped up some coins - fortunately I have been the main cash carrier!




Arrived to the wonderful village of Amalfi after a life threatening bus ride for an hour - the bus was overtaking cars which he thought were going too slow!  Our accomodation at a local centrally located Pension is very quaint and comfortable.
