A Boat Ride and 2 Cute Towns

This morning we woke up, got dressed and went on a walk. We were going to the Praiano tourism office. We wanted to get a bus schedule and tickets to go to Positano and Amalfi. Those two cities are on each side of Praiano and are pretty big. 

First we took a bus to Positano and got off at the stop at the top of the city. From there we walked down into the shopping, touristy part of the city. We walked around, got gelato, and window shopped for a while. I saw tons of cute things but didn't have the chance to get any of them. Once we got down to the coast there wasn't much else to do so we caught the ferry to Amalfi, the city that the whole coast was named after. 

 From there we walked around a lot until we found somewhere to eat. It was small but the menu was big and everything was local food. I had the fried fish plate with shrimp, calamari and baby octopi. After eating, Helen and Dad went to the beach while Mom and I went shopping (my favorite thing to do in foreign countries). I bought a pink crochet skirt and some silver strappy sandals. 

After we finished our little spree, we joined Helen and Dad at the beach so I could swim. The water was really cold in places warm in others. I swam almost the whole length of the beach, but got tired and decided to stay in the shallow
end and talk with Helen. When we were watered out, we went to lay down and get a soda. Dad had left to go somewhere but when he came back, he had GOGGLES! Immediately we were back in the water trying them out. I saw so many fish that were all different colors. Helen and I dove to the ground and swam along the bottom until we found a school of fish. When we saw one we swam as fast as we could with our arms outstretched trying to catch or just touch one. Neither one of us managed to. 


Around 6 we got on a bus back to Praiano to eat dinner and fool around. I love being at the beach so much!!!
