Day 6: Milan to Furore

Another early start awoken by a thunderstorm at 6.30 am. Where would you rather be during an electrical storm right above the airport? In the comfort of your own bed or in a flying aluminium can that conducts electricity 🤔. The plane courtesy of AirItalia was what I would describe as petite a city liner with 86 seats. At least I got 2 to myself 💤💤.

A short flight to Naples ready to meet Pops off his flight from Leeds. There were some scenes flying into Naples…such a contrast to the grey sky of Northern Italy.

We picked up our cheeky whip for the week, a Fiat 500 and we were off…Hallah one week of exploration and relaxation on the Almalfi Coast is exactly what I want! Get me in the water. Having arrived in Furore earlier than anticipated, we had time to kill. What better way than having a spot of lunch with a view.

Followed by an interesting espresso with lemon peel, apparently it prevents headaches, who knew. Next stop, the Wood residence for the week.

So to get to the house we had to go down underneath where we had lunch along a labyrinth of steps to the house! I mean wow! The terrace is just 😍.

The lady told us all about the bus routes that fly around through the village and that the local shop opened at 5….alas in true Italian style it was 5.30. In the mean time dad and I had a little walk – I don’t think we will be walking too far it’s either down hill or down steps. But the views are stunning.

A glass of red wine, whilst listening to the crickets awaiting for the arrival of Matt and Rosie with the essentials aka booze led for a good early evening.
