Amalfi The trip from Trapani to Amalfi Part 2

Pompeii is a must see. In our opinion it's a must-see for at least an hour unless one is an archaeological fanatic or a connoisseur of cobblestones and walls with a connoisseuse in tow.

	The entrance is next to the entrance to the Autostrade		Ceiling to look at when in the bath
	More Ceiling		Diane. ... Sorry, Diana.
	Lots and lots of artifacts ready to be shipped or placed somewhere. All behind locked fences.		Jupiter in his temple
	Original mural		More artifacts
	More wall painting and Peter looking at a plaster cast of one of the victims. They were surprisingly short people - well under five feet.		A slightly better view of the short person
	More statues		Temple
	The Market place. Note Vesuvius in the background		The Market place.

After Pompeii we wanted a little lighter fare so we headed toward Positano - the place the woman in "Under the Tuscan Sun" went to when unsuccessfully chasing her desired beau.

The road is a narrow freeway going through some major tunnels as it burrows under the ridge. Coming out on the coast road it is a short way to Positano. Positano is built on a steep hillside and has a triangle of roads. Going in our direction (East) the road hairpins through the town down to the beach and harbor and then hairpins back up the hill. Going the other way, the road is a nice straight quarter mile across the top of the town.

Back to the hotel, very tired. Pizza. Sleeeeeeep.
