Cruising day today. Walked down to the port, stopping off to get some money and some spaghetti and pasta in case all the shops are shut tomorrow for the holiday. Found the boat and got ourselves set up with 4 deck chairs in the shade (at first anyway).
Sailed at 10 and took about an hour to get to Capri where we moored near some rocks just off the coast and went swimming from the boats. We saw into‘the rich man’s harbour’ where all the big yachts are.

We were then in the sun all the way to Positano but didn’t mind as there was a breeze and we were cool after the swimming. Some people got off at Positano but we sailed on to Amalfi, some of us may have had a little nap on the way.
Amalfi is a pretty village climbing up the cliff, we only had 1 ½ hours so just time for lunch in a cheapish tourist café in a nice square. On the journey back we were in the shade on the land side.

Long tramp back to the hotel from the port, tired out by our busy day! After a rest Si and I went out to a restaurant recommended in the ‘Gourmet traveller’s guide to Italy’. We had pizza’s cooked in a proper wood fired oven. They were good, proper thick Naples ones. The wine was hideously expensive so we had half a bottle and some water. William and Josie went to the local take-away because Will wanted to try the ‘roast sucking pig and chip’ pizza. The pig was just ham but it did have chips on the pizza. Josie had to go back twice because the spaghetti frittata she ordered first time had ham in it.
