I am not a travel-agent and am not trying to talk you into anything, my friend... But if I lived in Heidelberg and decided to go to Amalfi I would take a train and split the journey into two with a 2-3 day stop-over in Florence (or Cinque Terre)
... of course you're right, dear Vladimir, at this age it's OK. I am sending you a LINK on this topic (P.I.Tchaikovsky: Capricho Italiano op. 45) [Link]
You know Gerd, I have been to Italy some 40 times (mainly when I served in Geneva for the United Nations)... And I do not remember when I previously listened to the Italian Capricho... But it seems to me that Italy has changed very much since Petr Ilitch's visits....
