Took the boat to Amalfi this morning, had lunch and then toured the town. Lunch of course was a salami-cheese sandwich for Jim and tomato/mozzarella brushetta for me. Yummy. We took the bus back, up and down winding, tight turns - white knuckle is how it is usually described. Terrific scenery, well worth the trip.
Aperitif's will be had tonight in a place called the Foreigner's Club which over looks Bay of Naples - complete with view of Mt Vesuvius. Then we shall search for the perfect restaurant for dinner. Tomorrow - the isle of Capri.
This is the lifestyle of the rich and famous section of our holiday -
Addendum: After return to from the Amalfi coast we had dinner at a sidewalk ristorante. Homemade pasta, puttanesca with tomatoes, capers and olives. Jim had the fish of the day which was a white cod-like fish, in cherry tomato sauce. Cherry tomato sauce is basically little tomatoes simmered with a bit of olive oil. No relation to any tomato sauce at home. I had the sardines, precious little fish, again no relation to the kind in the can at home. They were prepared whole and deep fried, sort of like eating french fries, and of course, one eats the whole fish, head and all. One of my favorite Italian seaside meals. After dinner in Sorrento, one strolls along the main street which is closed to traffice from 7:30pm until?? People window shop, buy things and just stroll along.
