I have lots of pix to share but first the bad news........................
On Saturday afternoon as we approached the final leg of our journey from Naples to Montepertuso we found ourselves in the middle of an autobus sandwich!
On a very narrow road which consisted of one hairpin bend after another.
I guess it was inevitable..........................
whilst reversing back down the mountain the SP backed into the rail guard and bashed the car.
The carbinieri arrived, the driver of the local football team bus (the one that made us back down) was given a ticket (YAY!) and after about 20 minutes we completed the last 100 yards of the journey.
Now the good news.
The family who own and operate La Tagliata welcomed us with open arms, insisting that we eat a little something to recover from the journey.

| Breakfast Italian style. Eggs, grapefruit juice, fresh fruit, toast & conserves, TIRAMI SU? |

| Limone and Limone Grande grow abundantly in the terraced gardens. |

You may just be able to see a small island in the background? This is one of the legendary sirens from Greek mythology. I see it every morning as I sit in bed & drink my tea! |
Ciao, ciao!!

Oh my, Maggie, such delights. The food, the view, the welcome. Even the vehicle incident will be tucked away into your memory. I'm so glad it wasn't serious and no one was hurt.
Looking forward to seeing more wonderful photos. Have a really relaxing time.
Maggie, I'm glad it was just the guard rail and not being crushed within that sandwich. Your "home away from home" looks to be fantastic. Great choice! Love the new profile photo! Another good choice. You look terrific, Maggie! Look forward to more photos.

Ciao Maggie, it was great to hear from you the other day, with news of the trip so far. I am so sorry about the dreadful weather you have been experiencing. I saw the Positano daily photo earlier with the river! It sounds as if you are staying in a beautiful place, hope the sun shines on you soon.

Oh my gosh, this is all so amazing and wonderful. (Minus the smashing the car part. ) I can't believe how big those lemons are! Wonderful meals! I'm going to have to show these pics to DH. He wants to go there!
