After meeting at the port at 8:30 a.m. we'll
head for Positano via the motorway A3 making a stop on the way to
taste the famous Neapolitan coffee and "Sfogliatella" pastry. This
will also give us the opportunity to visit one of the factories
where experienced craftsmen manufacture the world known cameos.
Cameos are miniature bas-reliefs that ancient Roman ladies wore as
jewels and which have been found in good quantities in the
excavations of Pompeii. Simply made from seashells, the value is
determined more by the quality of the art rather than that of the
gold or silver of the frame. |

Just before the
road enters Sorrento we'll leave it and start to
drive over the hills to get back down from them on
the opposite side of the peninsula, the one that
faces the Gulf of Salerno. Once we'll be on the
Salerno side we'll be traveling on the famous
"Amalfi Drive", the road that leads to Amalfi. We'll
only be going half way on it, just as far as
Positano. We'll be making more stops for more
panoramas and once we reach Positano we'll have the
time to stroll around its enchanting little streets
and the ladies will go crazy over the shops selling
lemon soaps and perfumes, fashionable clothes and
shoes... Lunch can be on
the mountain overlooking Positano or in Sorrento by the sea. It
depends on the time we'll have and your taste. If you prefer to eat
fish and we'll have the time to get to Sorrento for lunch that's
what we'll do. |

|
If instead you
don't care for fish and you can't wait, we go to the mountain top
for good meats and cheeses. Leaving Positano we'll retrace our steps
and go over the hills again. If there will be enough time we'll take
the scenic route and drive via Sant'Agata where there's a place from
which one can see the panorama of both gulfs, the Gulf of Naples and
the Gulf of Salerno, standing in one spot. |
|
Sorrento is at
the tip of the homonymous peninsula, built on
overhanging cliffs. Time can be spent wandering
around its colorful streets full of shops selling
the typical products: inlaid wooden furniture,
embroidery, ceramics and, of course, the famous "Limoncello" liqueur, We'll leave
Sorrento in the afternoon and head back towards Naples.
Return to the ship at about 5:30 p.m. |
