Ravello & Positano 14th Sept

First thing this morning I skyped Jim and woke Wanita . Sorry Wanita. This hotel gives bfst of fresh croissant & coffee. We also had a look at the library for info. We decided to go to Ravello today by bus and we visited Villa Cimbone there ,which has a jaw dropping view from its infinity terrace and lovely gardens . We had some yummy lemon sorbet as it was quite a hot day and listened to a band play in the square. We walked around the ceramic shops and saw a large organic garden and took photos for Benton. Some good art galleries as well. We caught the bus back down the hill. These buses have to pass extremely close as the roads are so narrow, only millimeters in it sometimes. When we got back to Amalfi we had lunch of pasta and congoli(cockles) .This is a speciality of this area. They gave us more lemon sorbet complimentary to finish the meal. Next we caught the bus to Positano. We had intended on catching it to the green grotto but couldn't figure out which was the right stop for it so we stayed on the bus till Position. We had coffee overlooking it before walking down to the beach. Again lots of interesting shops but quite expensive because it's so touristy but interesting art galleries again. We caught the ferry back to Amalfi at near sunset which was entirely pleasant. We had pizza for tea and tiramisu for dessert.
