Ravello

today we caught the local bus up to Ravello.  Up 100s of metres from sea level so amazing views, albeit quite hazy at times.  Found the magnificent gardens for 6 euro and wandered around there for about an hour, of course in my head landscaping our section at home - Ross just shakes his head.
the coast reminds us alot of Santorini, but with way more water and money.  It is far greener and seems to produce alot of the local fruit and vege which is sold in the wee shops off the square.  Lots of ceramics, with lemon patterns,  available and of course the infamous cameo and coral.
we treked down from Ravello, mostly on steps, down, down into the village of la traino and then shared the road with the local traffic of buses, cars and motorbikes - even through a 90 metre tunnel - this would never happen at home without guard rails, safety jackets and hard hats!
Had a swim just down from our pension and cooled off after a energetic morning in the heat - must be atleast 30degrees...
