Shower in Amalfi

To get to Amalfi from Sorrento, one takes a bus over the crest of the Sorrento Peninsula. The road is mostly carved out of steep cliffs and passes through small towns that are perched above small coves on the Mediterranean Sea. Fortunately the bus drivers are skilled at the dance between other vehicles and pedestrians.

Almalfi is as spectacular and lovely as the the guide books say. This time of year there seems to be many more locals than tourists. After lunch we started up the roads, steps, and foot paths to Valle di Molinos. It started raining, hailing, and lightning so we took shelter under the doorway to the ruins of the aquaduct. After the rain tapered off we retreated back to Amalfi and explored the the stairways and passages of the neighborhood between Almalfi and Atrani, the next town to the south.
We watched a spectacular sunset on the Mediterranean during the bus ride back to Sorrento.
Ciao!
