5 October - Praiano, Amalfi Coast, Italy

Woke up to another perfect day here on the Amalfi Coast. The plan for today was to catch a bus to Amalfi. Then, after checking out Amalfi to catch the ferry to Positano, and from Positano another bus back to Praiano. A bus ride along this coastal road is way more exciting than a ride on Lethal Weapon at Movie world. The road is narrow, barely two cars wide, and on one side is a sheer drop off to the ocean of 500 to 1000 feet. Oh! did I mention hairpin bends - it's hairpin bends all the way. Fortunately it's all over in 20 minutes or so. The ferry ride from Amalfi to Positano takes you right along the Amalfi coast. The water was calm, the sun was shining so lots of great photos and video.

Back in our rooms by 2:30 for afternoon drinks and siesta. We'll probably have takeaway pizza tonight and then tomorrow is our last day here in this part of the world. On Tuesday we drive from here to Pompeii and after a visit there we'll drive the 200 or so km to Rome airport where we return the hire car and finally catch our plane(s) home.
This evening we decided on pizza for dinner. Our host recommended the Open Gate Restaurant and Ristorrante just up the road. Had excellent pizzas, a litre of the local red and excellent coffees.

Back to our hotel (Hotel Maresca) for liqueurs before turning in for the night.
