You step into the cable car as the bay slips open below you — a ribbon of water cutting between steep limestone walls and sleeping red roofs. The gondola climbs fast; terraces, boats, and the famous serpentine road shrink into a chessboard, while the air thins and the wind dares you to look over the edge.
