Amalfi coast

Jolayne, Dave, Chris and I drove from Bari to the Amalfi coast and ended up in a hotel in Sorento.  It is very similar to driving Logan Pass but with a lot more traffic!  It is covered with hotels built into the mountains overlooking the sea.  Every 4 years on the 3rd Sunday in June the most important event of the Amalfi coast takes place called the Historical Regata. What are the chances we would be travelling on that very day?  There is also a historic boat race called the Regata Storica delle Repubbliche Marinare (which Amalfi won) on that day--so everyone was on the tiny roads.  It took us 8 hours to get to our hotel.  Beautiful but frustrating for Chris driving it.
People live on the sides of these mountains and grow grapes.
