Re: GESO (7) - Amalfi Coast Road
Thanks to all who commented! I wouldn’t mind at all driving this road in late fall (when traffic is lightest), in a sporty car with a stick shift. In our Prius, or anything larger, no thank you!

Re: GESO (7) - Amalfi Coast Road
No doubt, but we were in the area with my wife's Ford Escape and weren't going to pass it by. It was intense and at the end at Deals Gap I could smell the brake linings asking for relief. I ran the 11 miles at almost 35mph. I really want to go back with my Cayman GTS and have aniother go at it.

RE: GESO (7) - Amalfi Coast Road
That road was also scary for a friend of mine: however, if you want really scary, try the Timetable Road in New Caledonia, where there are constant reminders of the dangers from the vehicles suspended in trees below. I basically learnt to drive properly on the island of St. Helena, where almost every road is single lane and hugs the side of a cliff: on one, you have 12 feet of carriageway and three feet each side before it drops away!

Very nice, Rick. Amazing how similar it looks to Chapman's Peak Drive in Cape Town - an 8km climb.
