My choice of reading material for the flight is predictable.

TIL the Daihatsu YR V has become a classic.

Have a nice trip!

Yeah the 1.3 turbo ones are starting to appreciate a little, not necessarily a classic but people seek them out.

Thanks, I'm sure I'll be happy in the land of Fiat Pandas.

Understandable, I sort of liked them when they were new

Excellent! I've already seen one of every generation and I've just left the airport.

Haha if I'm not allowed to bring one back I'm certainly not going to be able to ship several for oppo XD

Theyre quirky and a bit different. Sometimes that’s enough for people.

For a moment I thought you were referencing a Kia.. .

Amalfi coast, nice! Or so they say, I’ve never been there.

Man, a couple weeks ago we had a long argument with a non-English speaking driver who really, really, really wanted to take us to Sorrento. We felt it would be better for him to take us to our rental on the Amalfi coast, which is where we hired him to go. We got there eventually though.

Yep I saw a bunch of them. Here’s one I saw in Florence that looked quite clean and ready for something more adventurous than braving the ZTL:

Thankfully the place not the Kia haha.

Just arrived at the hotel, so far what I've seen is very pretty. Heading out to get some pizza for lunch. Since some of my favourite foods are pasta and pizza I should do well here.

I mean it wouldn't have been all bad. What I've seen of Sorrento so far is rather nice.

Apparently there was really bad traffic there, which was going to add at least a half-hour to our trip, which didn’t feel so desirable after a day of travelling. I suspect it would have been a nice drive though. As best I can tell, the way this company likes to do things is to go in to Sorrento, down to the Amalfi Coast, and then to your destination, and then on the way back to Naples, go to via Amalfi so you get good exposure to everywhere along the coast, which doesn’t seem like a bad plan in general. That said, the more direct up-and-over approach was pretty scenic as well.
