Sicily is on my list if we ever get to go on a plane again

And the Amalfi Coast

Sicily for me too

We were in the Amalfi coast the year before last and honestly I wouldn't recommend it at all. It looks beautiful but it's so hard to get around there, the buses are unreliable and driving is terrifying, the roads are so narrow and so windy and dangerous and it's almost impossible to get parking anywhere and if you do get a space it crazy expensive. If you walk be prepared for 100's upon 100's of steps, the beach is right down at the bottom so you're climbing to get out of there plus it costs money to go on the beach, some beaches you actually can't go on at all without paying others you have to pay for a bed to get a decent spot, they leave the ****ty corners as the free places, also most of the locals aren't very nice or helpful

ETA : If I could do it again, I'd take a day trip on a boat or hire a boat and see it that way

I love Italy, Lake Como and Lake Garda especially so I was so disappointed

oh thanks, I had heard about the steps

and it was on Breaking Dad on Monday with Bradley and Barney Walsh, it does look stunning but then it was looking at it rather than being in it I suppose
