Amalfi.

This was the first time I had been to Amalfi. We took the local bus from right outside our hotel, down to Amalfi. We arrived early in the day and just took our time meandering through the city. Of course, the boys had gelato as soon as we got there.

And then we headed up to Amalfi's Cathedral which is dedicated to St. Andrew. It contains a tomb in its crypt that still holds a portion of the relics. We were in the area for the feast days of St Andrew (25-27 of June), but were advised to not go into the city on those days as it is beyond packed with people.

Here are some sights of the streets in Amalfi. The colors in the shop windows were amazing! It took everything I had not to buy lots of painted pottery....I already have so much. I opted for a few photos instead (Dan was very happy about that). And don't worry about the boys touching the water in the fountain...the locals drink it.

To get back to Praiano, we opted to take a ferry from Amalfi to Positano and "do lunch" in Positano. Here are some pictures of the marina in Amalfi.

Both Dylan and Ethan fell asleep on the ferry to Positano. The air was cool as we traveled (it was a HOT day) so I'm glad they got some rest.

We didn't spend too much time in Positano. It is VERY expensive and VERY touristy. Here are a few pictures from our approach to Positano and at the restaurant.
