Amalfi and Ravello..shopping, cliffs and more shopping.



Today we ventured out agian by ferry boat.  We planted ourselves on the 10 AM ferry headed to Amalfi.

The boat ride was beautiful.  We cruised along the coast past Priano and the super yachts in the Harbor of Positano.

We found out that if we had $600,000 to just give away...we could treat 10 of our friends to a fabulous week on this yacht.

It comes with lots of toys and a big blow up slide that was on the other side.  FUN


Amalfi.....



We hopped a bus to Ravello..what an experience.  I would say 10 minute drive up to the top with hairpin turns and cliffs on your right.  Another moment I could have peed my pants.




A church in Ravello...


Lemoncello  everywhere

And Ceramics....
 
And Wine

And Linens...OMG the Linens...of course I bought some!!!


Ravello high on the hill above Amalfi.




There is always time for Wine and Drugs...


It's these back alleyways that always get you in trouble.

Pizaaz in Ravello

This looks like a nice place to have a bite to eat!!  Just at the edge of Ravello.  Now remember, we started in a bus all the way down by the water and drove up a narrow road to get to here. YIKES


We headed back down to Amalfi in a bus packed to the gills...now I know what a can of sardines feels like.

Once we got to the bottom we headed into take a look at the PIizza in Amalfi.  What a beautiful church they have their.  It feels like Amalfi is the biggest city on the Amalfi Coast.


Just loved this fountain!!! People were drinking water out of it.

This lady was having fun dipping her kid to the spout to drink the water.  The little boy was in heaven!!

This is the beautiful church in Amalfi.  I think I have seen it on the Borgias.

Time for future Christmas Card Photos...first Theron and Margaret.....

Then Jay and Cindy


Our day is over and we are headed back to Positano by ferry.  They have bottle service on the ferry!!  This guy can open a bottle of beer with a Pelligrino can.. What finesse.

These towers are all along the coast.  I believe they are left from the era of the Romans

Would you feel safe living in a place that is built above a huge cave?  


That's all folks...tomorrow....They hike, I relax and then find a way to meet up at the top of the trail in Nocella.
