I woke up by 6 am train passing by the back of the hostel, and headed to the Sorrento bus station for 8:30 am SITA bus to Amalfi, after taking a motion sickness pill (that made me drowsy). SITA online bus schedule was inconsistent with local station bus schedule, yet the later controls.
The sunlight softening sticker on the bus window made the 1st leg photos off. I waited in line since 8:00 am so to get to pick a ocean-side window seat. It was a pity that I couldn’t take good photo of Positano, the most popular town on the coast.
The Amalfi Coast lies in the southwestern region of italy, and is famous for its extraordinary beauty and its iconic medieval cliff-side Mediterranean fishing villages (recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site). I walked around Amalfi town a little to see Duomo (the cathedral) in Amalfi, and its cloister (Chiostro del Paradiso in Italian).
After a 1.5-hr layover, I took another bus from Amalfi to Salerno (the end of the Amalfi coast), when I took better photos as the window had no coating. As the weather was too hot for hiking, I merely bused via the coast for the views.
