Beautiful Amalfi	Amalfi Coast		From the ship
Coming into the port
View of the cathedral	We take a boat ride down the coast to Positano	Arrival in Positano
		Our guide gathers everyone together....	...and takes us up to the cathedral
A strange looking compass in front of the church		Interior of Positano cathedral
		We're on our own for awhile	Entry to a lovely hotel which we took shelter in 4 years ago in the rain
	Church dome from the hotel garden	Remains of the breakfast buffet
Of course we find the pottery shops		Buses are a tight squeeze in this little town	Interesting accessories
Nancy goes shopping...or at least looking	A beautifully painted ATM niche	Getting back on the boat which will take us back to Amalfi
A true "salty dog"		Mural of the Saracen invasion at the entrance to the town of Amalfi	A waterpolo net--our ship in the background
The main square in Amalfi			The fountain
	Steps up to the Amalfi cathedral	We head up the stairs
View of the piazza from the top of the steps		The figures on the doors had been silver, but were stolen many years ago
	A definite Moorish influence
	Saracen tower	Remains of some of the church frescoes	The face of Jesus had been stolen
			St. Andrew with the cross
	Cruise 2008 099.jpg		Sarchophacus
	Beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary
Back on the square, looking for a place for lunch	Narrow streets		I'd say a little water has come down these steps
We wanted an outdoor table at this restaurant, but none were available...	...So they brought the table to us (glasses and all)...	...and sat it down carefully, moving the plants farther out....	...and we had a front-row seat!
The waiter who carried our table	A wonderful chianti classico	View of the small piazza from the restaurant
Wonderful bruschetta	Linguini ala vongole....yum.	Our waiter loved us	Young Italian girl on cellphone with blades and a bike
Back to the main piazza	Children gathered on the steps have a good view	Ah! A limoncello shop!	You gotta have a little gelato after lunch!
The waiter took our photo at the gelato stand	Watching the passing parade	That restaurant would have a good view	Do you love the traffic light & the pedestrians?
On our way back to the dock to pick up a tender for the ship			Typical boys
They're probably digging a hole through to China			Even the dock is decorated with flowers
And a struggling little plant is encircled by a rope	The tender will take us back to the Mother Ship	Looking back at Amalfi	The water was such a beautiful color
	Arividerchi, Amalfi!
