Florence to Amalfi Coast, Italy

Posted on July 18, 2011 by Ron

Today was expected to be our long day in the bus. Little did we expect that the bus would hit a brick in the centre of the freeway and end up with a flat tire. We eventually ended up at our hotel rather later than expected. It ended up being a long day since I had started the day early with the street sweepers.

This unlucky Fiat driver was following our bus when our bus ran over a brick in the middle of the freeway. A piece of the disintegrating tire bounced off the Fiat’s hood. The Fiat driver swerved and hit something else and ended up with a flat tire to add to the confusion. Thankfully, we were not far from a roadside pull-off but this incident kept us there for about 4 1/2 hours.
