Two days above the Amalfi Coast





Quick update - we had a fantastic hike yesterday above, and down to, the Amalfi Coast. Starting with steep terraced farmland and open rocky terrain, we ended going through forests, into towns built into cliffs, and down 1,221 steps to Positano and the beach. Luckily, the return was by boat and bus, not a hike back up.










Today (Thursday) was Vesuvius destruction day - walks through Pompeii and Herculaneum, a smaller site with remains of a town destroyed by mud and lava, rather than the ash that buried Pompeii.







Tomorrow we might drive and hike up to the crater of Vesuvius, then a long drive north to Verona.
