To sea.....again

We took to sea again yesterday. This time around the point of the peninsula to view the Amalfi coast looking up from a boat instead of down from a bus.

De Anne leading me down to the marina:

Toni, our captain for the day, was docked and waiting for us. Since this was a longer trip this boat was much faster than last week's boat. Below we have rounded the point and a Roman watchtower is next to a new lighthouse.




We landed in the town of Amalfi just in time for lunch. De Anne ordered one of everything in the seafood department.

We wandered through town like the tourists that we are noting that every small town devotes massive effort into their churches

We returned, passing close to the town of Positano - noted in an area of steep hills - as a town with only two directions, up and down.

Just so no one thinks all is perfection I must relate this morning's trip to town. One of the senior members of our entourage required something from the pharmacy. Because parking in town varies from impossible to nonexistent I rode shotgun to leap out and make the purchases. 

After returning I was quizzed as to how I communicated the medical need. I related my charade with the pharmacist which was quickly dubbed "the enema dance". Actually, the request for stool softener was a bit harder to convey. Hopefully none of the other customers has a You-tube account.
