Friday 12th August

Intended to get the bus to Amalfi this morning but it went straight past us again. Got a local bus into Sorrento town and went for a drink on the terrace bar of a posh hotel looking out over the sea.

Then went to have a look down at the ravine in the centre of town where you can see the ruins of an old saw mill. Bought some local mozzarella and tomatoes and had our lunch in the small communal gardens.

After lunch walked down to the beach – again a tiny public bit surrounded by expensive private places. The sea was clear and cool. Then walked along to the port and booked a boat trip on Sunday going out to Capri and then to Amalfi – at least we won’t have to worry about the buses.
