Amalfi Rollercoaster

We had a day off today and the sun shone for the first time since I left home in November!!! Rick Steeves highly recommends the Amalfi Coast so we teamed up with Paul and Debby MacSweeney from Australia, hopped on the local bus ( 7 Euro return) and headed for the coast. It took an hour and a half to do the 35km from Serrento to Amalfi and we arrived trembling after the drive of a lifetime. The road is carved out of the cliffs and is so narrow we often had to stop to let cars pass. The bus came so close to the edge you had the sensation you were flying because you could only see ocean below you.
Amalfi is a tourist town and has the shops and restaurants to prove it. We asked a taxi driver to recommend a good restaurant and he sent us up the hill to a back street tratorria. Here is a photo of the two Debbies with
the taxi driver and another of Paul and me with the tratorria owner. I think we were had? The food was good and the banter from the owner/waiter/chef was entertaining. He even gave us a free shot of Lemoncello, the local hootch, which is made from lemons ( duh!) and is very strong.
I am learing to talk like an Aussie or, as they would say, "I am turning Aucca." There are also some people from New Zealand on the tour and I am mixing things up. Here are a few Aussie words:

Mooch -to roam idly about - ex- "I think we will just mooch around town today."
Bludger - a lazy good for nothing, welfare scamming bum

How do you say?

He left

NZ - " He lift."
Aus - " He's gone walkabout."
Dave - " He f***ed off."
