Amalfi Coast

Stay in Florence, go to Tuscany.

And then some people want to go to the Amalfi Coast.

Some people want to go to Venice.

Venice, you really only need a couple of nights.

Some people want to stop in Pompeii.

on the way.

And then you spend, you know, like three or four nights on the Amalfi Coast.

And then you'll take a boat trip while you're there.

From my limited experience of seeing families in Europe, drink is like an accompaniment to a meal.

So a lot of times you've got a 14-year-old who might have a glass of wine with their family, having some nice pasta or something on the Amalfi Coast somewhere really exotic.

Rich, you've turned into You're a poet.

I know, but like, but like in this country, in the UK, it's like you said, Craig, it's, you just, you want to get smashed up.

And it reminds me also, so like even if you are RVing and you're traveling, you really can learn a lot from people when you do spark a conversation.

And it just reminds me of the conversation we had with a couple when we were sitting in a Trani on the Amalfi Coast.

And here we thought we were going to give them some tips.

And I guess we did like about a Trani specifically, but and what to eat there and everything was good.

But then we got some great tips from them.

They gave us some tips for naples they were the ones who had bought a sailboat in turkey and were sailing slowly back to the bahamas but they gave us some great tips for the amalfi coast as well so it just doesn't apply just to our being but just like sparking up a conversation and sometimes yeah sometimes you'll run into people who are not talkative and not want to talk but we had we ended up talking to those people for a long time about their travels and their adventures and you honestly can really get some great information from people just by sparking some conversation so just figuring out how to start that

Yeah, I think they were the ones that really sparked my interest into looking at Starlink.

I'd heard of Starlink, but hadn't really paid much attention to it.

Looking forward to sharing those with you.

And also while I was there, I hosted a group tour, the Cilento Secret, and it was at Borgo La Pietraia, which is the most beautiful place in Southern Italy, right near the temples of Pestum in the Amalfi Coast.

And the tour was happening right in the middle of the trucker strike, strikes over the carovita, the expensive life, the rising cost of living.

So while I was there, the gas stations were shutting down because there were no deliveries.

In fact, this episode is going to very much encourage you to go to Bologna for one very specific reason.

But If you want to do a trip with only the big famous spots, you're going to have a lot of this experience.

So of course you want to see Florence, Venice, and Rome, but the worst trip you could possibly do is Florence, Venice, Rome, and the Amalfi Coast, all famous spots.

If you can book your entire trip using Get Your Guide, it's a bad trip.

And then you have to look at what the reason was.

The reason after the investigation is that Don was headed for the Amalfi Coast in Italy, where he wanted to become a beat poet and a jazz drummer.

And so I decided to write the poem in the style, for Don, in the style of a kind of jazz beat poem.

And I can tell it to you if you like.

There's all kinds of different things that layer into this.

And so if you look at this and you just look practically, we're in this really cool time in the world where you don't have to buy a house on the Amalfi Coast.

You can literally go rent an Airbnb and maybe you go spend 10 or 20 grand, but it's not 2 million.

That's right.

We went to Rome and a few other places.

But the Amalfi Coast, we went to for three days.

It was unbelievable.

Pure beauty.
