The Breathtaking Amalfi Coast

Amalfi Coast

After several decades of travel, finally I was able to see the Amalfi Coast last 2002. My dad never included it in his itinerary since we usually leave spring or summer and tourists he said would be overflowing then. Also prices would be sky high.

Amalfi Coast has a mixture of history and nature, all to discover; from the Cathedral of Amalfi, to the villas in Ravello and the numerous churches built during the historical period of Amalfi's Republic.

Bebeth and I decided to take a limousine to be able to appreciate what they say is the most beautiful coastline in the world. At least we were able to stop to take photos and admire the view whenever we wanted to to.

The L'Aligot dish

This was a really special dish we partook during early dinner in Rodez. Apparently it is a speciality of the mid-pyrenees region. L'Aligot is a potato-based, garlicky and good, halfway between mashed potato and fondue. It's best accompanied by a large glass of wine. We took it as a side dish together with some roast chicken.

By the way, for the breakfast the following day we had a wide assortment of cheese and most of them were variations of blue cheese since Roquefort is just the next city.

We were told not to take that much since it is really heavy without seeming so. Hope I will be able to try it again sometime in the future.
