We stayed at the Sofitel there as we had a 6.00 am flight.
Only 2 and a bit hours then we were in Naples. Easy through customs, and met by our driver Luigi.
About an hour and 20 minutes drive past Versuvious which dominates Naples, and through amazing mountains to Amalfi. Some smoke haze from bushfires limited our views.
Amalfi arrival was great, through the bustling square to our apartment where Lucia welcomed us.
The apartment was everything we wanted. Beautifully appointed and with the temperature here at 30,, air-conditioning is great.
Cathedral dominates square
After a quick refresh we wandered down to beach to partake of lunch and sun.
View from promenade
We decided on pizza and beer for first meal and were not disappointed. Sitting there in the sun looking at beach, I could see the stress drop off Fi as she relaxes into her holiday.
Back to unit for a siesta, then down to supermarket for some supplies before we go out for evening.
Amalfi architecture
Down to square where we found one of the many restaurants and partook of Gnocchi and sausages with salad. Washed down with a really nice Pinot Grigio, we explored a bit and found a nice bar playing blues music to finish the night.
Today looks lovely to explore some more. Ciao.
