This American tourist complained about having to walk in Italy and went wildly viral because it was quite the ride
The first of our look backs on our most popular posts of the year, we begin with this American TikToker who went wildly viral on Twitter with a missive they sent from her holiday on the beautiful Amalfi coast in southern Italy.
It’s fair to say she wasn’t happy – not with the resort itself – just the amount of time and effort it took to get there. Specifically, the roads. Why no roads! Eh?!
She is fucking fed up pic.twitter.com/xuPhScoiwk

And the comebacks came thick and fast. Occasionally angry – and invariably very, very funny.

"the amalfi coast doesn't have the infrastructure to support this tourism" yes. exactly. go home. the fact that you expect a secluded location in a small country made of mountains and workfields to have superstreets for ur comfort is such an american take it makes me violent https://t.co/rOf4FoEJQB

Can’t believe this place I know from gorgeous photos of steep hillsides uninterrupted by six-lane highways has steep hillsides and no six-lane highways. https://t.co/tEx6MWajYn

Americans will travel to the most beautiful places on earth and wonder why they're not constructed like American cities where every household owns 2.7 cars https://t.co/9foKaPdBMl

Yes, stick in a six lane motorway because American tourists can’t walk the length of themselves. pic.twitter.com/P9TpwBfQrq

Who doesn’t research the details of the place/plans they’re going to beforehand? I do that locally 😅

Except there was a PS, it turned out, an important clarification – of sorts.

Last word to this person?
He definitely looks like he's having an incredible time

Ha! It’s probably all that walking.
"you have to fly to naples then take a train to sorrento then wait on a ferry" …… what did you think was going to happen when you booked a plane ticket then a train ticket then a ferry ticket???????????? https://t.co/buPyP8YeEe
