I have been struggling over the last week with getting up on time in the morning, and hauling myself to work at a reasonable hour. So, in the spirit of being sempre in ritardo, I stumbled across this fabulous story in italiannotebook.com, about the perils of italian bus travel, told with wonderful humor and irreverence.

I recently saw a travel documentary following a bus driver who ran a daily shuttle up and down the Amalfi Coast. Dio Mio! This man had no fear and ran the single lane, cliff hugging track like a race car. God help all and sundry approaching from the other direction!

It’s worth scrolling through the user responses after the article though, just to satisfy yourself that not ALL buses are like this!
BTW - we have the same sort of adventures with our public transport here in Melbourne, Australia. Must be a global phenomenon : )
