Advantages: Beautiful, Italian, romantic Disadvantages: Very narrow roads and very hilly
...The Amalfi coast is possibly one of the most beautiful and romantic places in the world. We got engaged there, in Ravello, so it obviously holds a very special place in my heart. There are several towns which are beautiful to stay in. We were based in Positano which is split into 2 areas by a deep ravine. All hotels are ont eh cliff face with fantastic views out to sea. Positano can get a bit touristy in high season so I would recomend going in Spring time - late April through to early June. There are also many good places to eat to suit most budgets and a couple of very special hotels if your budget allows. Otherwise there are plenty of excellent guest houses which are clean and comfortable.
Amalfi itself is an historically interesting town and well worth a visit. As is Ravello on the top of the hills, famous for Wagner stories...

...entrance to the Stuard Gallery, Ducal Palace, Puppet Museum and Palazzetto Eucherio Sanvitale - a bargain at 5 euros!
My favourite was the Puppet Museum with it's collection of around 1500 puppets. As well as 400 scenes (theatre), 200 scripts and 400 books about the theatre and works of the 18th & 19th centuries. This collection has been collected by the Ferrari family since the 20's - in fact the museum is dedicated to Giordano Ferrari.
As we were only visitors for the day we didn't eat in a local restaurant - a panini stuffed full of parma ham and a bottle of water from a local bakery was enough.
I managed to buy a local liquer called Nocino which is made from unripened walnuts and is a great aid for digestion - that's what one of the locals told me and I'm sticking to that version because it tastes delicious.
How to get there: we went...

Advantages: Best of both worlds for walkers (and cyclists, cross country skiers and horse-riders) Disadvantages: If you don’t like walking (or cycling or skiing or riding) read no further
...enjoyable day. Just a shame about the icy wind and snow!
On day three we moved on to Ravello, accompanying our luggage by car some of the way, and walking the final 9km with a loop inland through lemon-groves from Maiori; could have done more had the route allowed for it. Ravello is a beautiful old town of narrow streets and gardens, perched on a hilltop high above the sea. Here Inntravel have found another comfortable and characterful hotel with good food – the Villa Maria. But we had another quibble with the route-planning; Inntravel’s notes suggest you spend the next day (4) exploring the town. Full of interest though it is, Ravello does not require a full day, especially if you have arrived early the previous afternoon. But we found the local Tourist Office sold a local walking map for €1 showing paths down to the seashore, so...

My impressions of this game when I saw it advertised on the internet was that it looked like a completely different type of game that I'm used to seeing for the DS.

I lived in New York City for a few years, but had little experience of its hotels until after I'd moved away. My husband and I stayed in the Library Hotel in late August of 2004 for two nights. After spending a few nights in one of its sister hotels the... more
