The Road of Hell


Today we drove to a place called Paestum, which took a while to get to, but it was worth it when we made it there because it was super pretty. And there were a bunch of things that were like mazes there! Paestum is the ruin of a very old Greek town. It has probably the best kept temples in the entire world - and I am not exaggerating. The temples looked as if you could use them today.

When were done looking at the temples, we went to a place that was a lot like a maze where I played hide and seek with my Mom and my brother, but it was actually the ruins of old Greek houses. Then we had a picnic under a big tree where we right sandwiches, chips and soda right by a temple.

While my father was at the museum, we bought him a birthday cake because it was his birthday, and we had the best gelato I have had in my entire life.

On the way back to Nerano, we took a road, that should have been called the road of hell. It was super super narrow, and sometimes we were behind a bus, then another bus came, and we had to go back many yards to let it pass. Sometimes it took 20 minutes to get a few feet forward. That road was the coastal road on the coast of Amalfi. Then we drove up the hill to a small town called Ravello, where we also got some meat to grill at home. But then we arrived home too late to cook because the road was so hard to drive on.
