This is a picture of Positano, one of the main towns on the Amalfi Coast. It was a little cloudy, but still a nice day. We spent time people watching too.
We also drove to the next town over, Amalfi, and toured the paper mill/museum which has been in operation since the 13th century. It’s located inside a cave. Very interesting. They told us there used to be 13 paper mills in the tiny town of Amalfi.
On Tuesday we took a boat to the Isle of Capri. What a fascinating place. We started out with a boat ride around the island.
These are the two most famous sites on Capri.
We then took a chairlift up to the top of Capri for some spectacular views.
Then it was on to Pompeii.
View of Vesuvius. The people of Pompeii and surrounding areas didn’t understand the danger lurking there. Here are some pictures of the city, their homes and the saddest part - molds of their remains in their last minutes.
Here you can see ruts worn in the stone streets from wagons driving for years on the streets of Pompeii.
These large stones were placed so when it was rainy or muddy people could cross from one side to the other without getting muddy or wet.
And finally:
