Amalfi and Surrounding Towns

We are here in Amalfi for 4 days. This is a beautiful place.

One day we saw a man shoveling dry cement powder into these saddlebags to carry up the mountain.

One view of Amalfi

The Cathedral of St Andrew in the Piazza Duomo square in Amalfi.

The fountain in the square.

Looking up the main street from the square.

The view on our walk home to our hotel one evening.

From the 16th century until 1969, Amalfi was a leading paper maker. We visited the Paper Mill Museum  to see how they originally made paper from cloth. LW got to try and made his own paper.

On our boat ride to see the Emerald Grotto.

I know it looks blue but it's actually the Emerald Grotto. The sunlight shines in through the tunnel causing the water to look like this. It's 30 meters deep and clear as can be. I could see all the way to the bottom.

 We rode the bus UP to Ravello. This was the view from there.

This is Positano.

Lemons are the thing in this area. I've had a Limoncello drink, this lemon granita, lemon cake, and several pastries with lemon filling. All fabulous!

On our last day we rode the bus to Sorrento.  Here is LW walking down a street that's been here since before Christ.

A cute little church in Sorrento. 

Tomorrow it is on to Assisi to show LW where I broke my leg.
