Amalfi

We are now leaving Positano by ferry and headed to Amalfi.  It is a beautiful and the sun is shining with no clouds...a perfect day!  The water is pretty calm as well so the boat is gliding smoothly across the water.

We saw this giant hole in the mountain and thought it looked really cool.  I told Laura that a dragon lived there but she didn't believe me. Me and Laura on the boat! The Amalfi coast has many arches supporting the roads, which have been there for centuries.  They make for a good view! We made it to Amalfi!  We got off the boat and within a minute, we were in the city square.  We visited a paper store, since Amalfi is the birthplace of modern paper in Europe.  We tried to find this store the last time we drove through Amalfi, but were unsuccessful.

So blue and so clear!   Oh what a good boyfriend taking photos for older couples. Our next stop was where we walked down through the town to the harbor.
