Leaving Pompei, we passed through a couple of small towns on our way to the Amalfi coast road. These were bursting at the seams with crazy Italian drivers who seem to invent their own rules of the road as it suits them. Signs and white paint there are aplenty but treated at best as mere suggestions. They don't even mark the field of play for it turns out that the sidewalk is a fine place to drive/ride and park too. The wrong side of the road - what's a wrong side? Everything is fine as long as you don't blink, he who hesitates is lost in this state of automotive anarchy. Mad Max would do just fine.
The Amalfi coast is indeed utterly spectacular but of course the traffic, nose to tail in both directions makes it hard to enjoy it properly.
More later...
