Subject: Almalfi coast of Italy Posted on: Mon, 18 Dec 2006 08:44:56 -0500

I've never been to Italy - never thought of it until I turned on the TV
last night and saw this part of it on PBS - I suspect it was an "Over
Italy" show:( like "Above Germany") it was an aerial tour of Italy - a
series of short clips looking down as they flew along. They were showing
a coastal route like Big Sur and all I know is that the text with the
clip read " near Sapri" . It may have been 100 miles away ? I went
searching online for info / video and can only find things like this
comment from a poster at Rick Steve's website:

"The entire coast line from Sapri south for the next 100 miles is simply
stunning. The water is emerald green and the coast is dotted with tiny
coves and broad sand beaches. It reminded me of the Big Sur coast of
California, only more isolated."

For those that have been there ... about that road ... it looks pretty
narrow and no guard rails which might take some of the fun out of it if
someone coming at you isn't paying attention. Is that right ?
What's the climate like near there - is it cold in February or tropical
?

What is this road ? WHERE IS THIS ? How do I get there ? Where to fly
into ? What's at each end of "that road" ?
