Positano & Amalfi

Walked into town to the tourist info office.  There are some sidewalks in Praiano, but we are on the other side of the tunnel and the easiest and shortest path is the main road.  No sidewalks and we have to walk single file, as close to the buildings, guard wall, or parked car as possible as traffic speeds by..... a little unnerving, but the norm here.

We caught the red bus after thinking we missed it, and buying SITA (blue) bus tix to Positano.  It was a very scenic and windy 10km.  Got off high above the beach level and made our way down through the shops along with the mobs of tourists.  Stoped at a gelataria along the way.  Positano is very picturesque but it is filled with high-end shops and restaurants.  By the time we made to to the beach were weren't quite hungry for lunch and weren't too excited with "the scene".  

We caught a water taxi for Amalfi, passing by Praiano (which doesn't have a harbor) and took this pic.  Our house is near the center of the hill.  Amalfi was a little toned down and our speed.  Found a great restaurant off the beaten track and then we hit the public beach.  The girls were excited about the coarse sand - it was easier to walk on than small stones.  No beverage service at the free beach so I walked across the main street for 2 Peronis and 2 Lemon sodas.
 

Used our already purchased blue bus tix for the ride back to Praiano.  Dinner at the apt on our amazing terrace and then Debby and I walked into town for a drink and wifi at our favorite spot, the front balcony of Hotel Le Fioriere.
