Awesome day exploring the beautiful Amalfi coast. The place has a relaxed confident feeling - it knows it is good. It is as gorgeous as Cinque Terre without the masses of people.
Walked from Ravello to Atrani down the path of many steps through lemon groves, bush and narrow alleys. Postcard views. Had a coffee and swim at a small beach followed by a 50 cent warm shower. We then headed off to Amalfi. Bruschetta Caprese for lunch and then Julie and I visited the Duomo di Amalfi while Justin and Kay shopped.
The churches never fail to impress with their beauty. Precious relics, art and architecture in an atmosphere of faith and peace. The mitre with its 20,000 pearls, the courtyard and bello crypt stood out.
Back to the beach for a swim and then an open top bus ride back up the hill to Ravello. Dinner again at the Vittoria of salt crust sea bass and then a concert of Brahms and Schumann for violin and piano in a local church. You could easily get to like this place!
Off to explore Positano by ferry today.
