We came here to explore the Amalfi Coast, so Monday morning 28 June 2010 that's exactly what we headed out to do. We had admired the gorgeous flowered patio jadineres of our landlady and she informed us that she nad purchased them in the nearby town of Vietri sul Mare, a village famous for its hand painted porcelain. We bought patio pots in a brightly colored assortment of painted flowers.
And Vietri was the first town of the drive along the Amalfi Coast. It was hard to leave this lovely art, but we were to return and shop somemore at a later time.
The narrow windy road along the Amalfi Coast is hair-raising at best. According to Noel Coward and his wife, who did not view the road from the floor of their car as they were driven between the charming towns. Each town was more charming than the previous one. The vistas were unreal.
Lunch in Amalfi - the best pizza ever. 
The Amalfi Hotel
Positano is the "wedding cake" of the Amalfi Coast. At least everyone has a great view not blocked by your neighbor. This also where we turnede north and headed back toward home, not anxious to drive these roads in the dark. We missed Sorrento but we were ready for a special bottle of wine waiting for us back at home base.
