Amalfi Coast and Capri

Sad as it seems we have reached our furthest destination south. Thursday we risked life and limb on a bus along the Amalfi coast to Positano. The trip while hairy and exciting was without incident. A young Aussie couple we have since spoken with were on another bus and thought their driver had a death wish and will never ride on public transport again!
The view of the coastline from the bus was amazing especially when often there was nothing between us and a 1000 foot drop to the sea. Positano itself was a tourist haven but beautiful with narrow streets and houses clinging to the cliff face.
Friday 26 May saw us take a cruise to Capri. The seas have been dead calm for days but managed a nice choppy swell for us! Unfortunately half the boat did not bring their sealegs so many missed the view. Me (Jane) was fine, has the trip to Queensland cured my seasickness? Stephen hopes so. We landed at Marina at Piccollo and took the bus up to Capri Town. We had 5 hours on the island and were wondering what to do when the couple camping next to us at Sorrento miraculously appeared having arrived by ferry. They had a walking map and persuaded us to join them on an hour's hike. Two and a half hours later, having seen some of the best sights ever, we arrived back at our starting point exhausted but well pleased with our adventure.
Time for a swim. Easy you might think but with only an hour to spare before our return trip we did not want to part with $17 each on a private beach! The photo shows me finally having my first ever swim in the Med on one of the few public beachs on the island, and yes those are pebbles on the beach. It was heaven.
Not looking forward to the return trip on our small boat we set off for what was an incredible trip. Being a small boat we were able to pass under the famous Lover's Arch and almost into the mouth of one of the grottos. The Blue Grotto, the most famous, was closed due to the rough weather. All in all it turned out to be a memorable day.
