27d Salerno - Ravello and the gardens of Villa Cimbrone

Next, we headed up to Ravello, a beautiful village. Very high on a hill
with commanding views of this gorgeous coast. We have been to Ravello
before and taking our driver's advice we wound our way through the narrow
streets until we found Villa Cimbrone.
Just like all magnificent gardens, this garden is made up of many smaller
themed gardens. Some of the highlights were The Cloister with it's stone
walls and arches, the Avenue of Immensity with its lush covering of
wisteria, if only it was in bloom, what a wonderful show it would have been.
Eve hidden away in a grotto and Mercury in deep contemplation on his seat.
But the highlight is the Terrace of Infinity, beautiful uninterrupted views
of the coastline below.
