Hearing the groans and the agony this morning form my group is hilarious. Nobody can make it down the stairs without looking like a geriatric. The plan today is that we ascend the 500m from Bomerano to the top of Monte Tre Calli (10.5 km round trip). The group is split – some want to do it and some of us want to recover from yesterday. Jane & I join the group for the first mile or so of the walk to see the view over Bomerano.

Tomorrow we are meant to be climbing Vesuvius and we want to have recovered from yesterday and be able to enjoy it. We sensibly decide to take the bus into Amalfi and have a lazy day sitting in a bar, people watching and just exploring the town.

We explore the back streets and discover a wonderful speciality food shop which overloaded us with food samples of scrumptious confectionery. It was a good sales technique as we purchased quite a few items – many containing chocolate! We made our way down to the seafront before catching the return bus.
