Day 7...really...well we've decided to stay "close to home" today and rest up for our trip tomorrow to Capri (pronounced KAH-pree by Italians)...a must-see world class tourist trap. I imagine we'll encounter crowds if Amalfi was any indication. Anne goes out for a walk and I go down to the fish vendor just below us and buy some vongole for dinner. The clams are so tiny and beautiful! John and I go to the Bar del Sole for a cappuccino and he has a cornetto. A qu...

Day 6...we're off to Amalfi! Well...the bus ride was not for the faint of heart or anyone that gets car sick. We were literally packed into the bus like sardines.

Anne and I chose fish, John meat...and so the meal proceeded. Incredible! And that was just the beginning. The fish was perfectly sautéed w...

Day 3...another glorious day on the Amalfi Coast! Weather cooler today which is much appreciated. We went for a trek up to the San Domenico monastery...at least 1500 steps...probably more...each way. Treated ourselves to a cappuccino and cornetto when we got down! Now it's rest time...
