Amalfi May 31,2014

After breakfast on our hotel terrace we took the steep but short downhill walk to the fairy landing for a 40 minute boat ride to the town of Amalfi another quaint town built on the side of the steep slopes. Took a lengthy walk above the town following a stream to a dead end then returned for a trail along the coast to the town of Atrani, a much less developed area but with a nice rocky beach.  After a lunch of sandwich beer and gelato back in Amalfi, we caught the local bus for the very curvy and steep 40 minute ride to the elevated town of Ravello. The town is picturesque with an extensive multi acred Cimbrone Garden owned and renovated by a wealthy Brit in the early 1900s. A faster descent in our bus took us back to Amalfi. Wayne looked for the Emergency Shop looking for a pair of sun glasses at a reasonable price. No glasses available at stores here for less than $145. Too many people waiting for bus back to Positano so we took the ferry back for 8 euros. Steep uphill walk back to our hotel for shower and dinner where we were treated to live music. Finished the day with walk down to center of town.
