Birds outside the window of the Fast Train high shutter speed setting

When traveling t 180 MPH or 300 KMH you can't see what is outside, I decided to take a photo and set my shutter speed to 2000 of a second. I was amazed to see the birds flying by the train. I was told they were vultures, (buzzards maybe)

Lemon trees covered by Nets

On our bus ride we rode by groves of Lemon Trees that were very old, they were covered by nets to protect them. Lemons on the Amalfi Coast are used to make Limoncello. Limoncello is an Italian lemon liqueur mainly produced in Southern Italy, especially in the region around the Gulf of Naples, the Sorrentine Peninsula and the coast of Amalfi, and islands of Procida, Ischia, and Capri

Bus ride to Amalfi Coast

We spent the night in Salerno and got up the next morning, went to the news stand and purchased a bus ticket to Amalfi, we rode approximated 10 miles and stopped. We thought this was Amalfi, driver said to get off this was the end. The road had washed out and we had to walk to Amalfi approximately 3 miles down hill. We walked part way but decided it would be too much to walk back up the mountain to catch the bus back. The ticket cost $4 US round trip, we rode back to Cetera and got off , walked around and caught taxi back to Salerno, $20 to catch train back to Rome.
