On Tuesday, September 10th, we decided to walk down to Atrani, then through the tunnel to Amalfi, and take the ferry to Positano. Anchored off shore was the world's largest sailing vessel, the five-masted cruise ship Royal Clipper, on a 7-day cruise from Civitavecchia to Taormina and back.
We visited the Cathedral, which I liked.
Then we took the little bus up to Nocelle, with the idea of walking around some and eating in the area, but the restaurant we had found in Lonely Planet was actually, farther down, in Montepertuso. but that restaurant turned out not to be open, so we ate at an artsy sort of restaurant called Il Ritrovo, which turned out to be pricey but good.
When we tried to catch the minibus back down to Positano, it was jam-packed. Since the next bus was in half and hour, we and a young British couple decided to walk all the way down. They were on the Amalfi Coast for their own destination wedding, which would take place in a few days.
We headed back to Punta Civita, in time to see Royal Clipper sailing off toward Sicily.
That evening, we walked down to Atrani again for a very nice meal at Savo.
I also called my parents, to wish them a happy 70th wedding anniversary!

Great job, Michael! Loved the pictures and commentary. The next best thing to travel is to travel vicariously and I have had a great trip. Thank you.
