Bomerano to Marine de Praiano. Day 4

After a night of thunder, lightening and heavy rain we start the day with another change of plan as showers are forecast until midday.

We settle on the Praiano Marine as it is a short downhill walk.

The pathway down is studded with caves, grottoes to saints, and rock formations that make me think of a load of bare bums!

It turns out to be a beautiful pathway with lush vegetation, and more grottos.

Both days we have seen an abundance of butterflies and lizards, but this is the first time I have got close enough for a photo.

This was our lunch stop, then onwards down, down and down, following the ubiquitous red spots that mark all the trails.

Looking back to see the craggy skyline, and forward to the marina below.

The light is on green, so it is safe to go on the beach. We weren’t planning on getting a sunbed and brolley, and at these prices it’s just as well. There were a few takers though.

The water was warm and really salty. A pictureseque cove, even a fisherman mending his nets.

We had been told that the bus from Sorrento didn’t always stop if it was already loaded, and thats what happened. Desperate measures! We sort of flagged a car down and asked if they could give us a lift! Lovely car full of Israeli holiday makers. They took us on board and dropped us in Amalfi.

Amalfi was crazy. Busy busy,busy. Too many people, but we are here now so lets look around. Amalfi is famous for it’s lemons, though we haven’t seen a lemon tree yet! This guy amused us though.

The cathederal looks impressive.

Statues sheltering from the rain.

But what is this about?

Back in Agerola, a Catholic prossesion.

mart restaurant, another mini fiat and some ants crawling up a wall, or are they Hawaiian ladies dancing?

See you tomorrow.
