Vietri Sul Mare, the gateway to the Amalfi Coast. Woke up this morning….
To a ball of fire rising in a cloudless sky, promising a perfect summers day!
After yesterday’s walk up the ‘mountain’ to the township, a little more investigation revealed an hourly mini bus service! 
Waiting at the bustop at 9.15am looking up towards the town. Perfect, on schedule, a five minute ride and there we were in the hustle and bustle of daily life in this seaside town!
First stop – Coffee. Somewhat cooler up top than we anticipated as a strong breeze was tunnelling through the narrow streets!
After finding many local gastronomic delights, and shopping bags full to the brims with fruit, veges, cheeses, breads and fish we decided it was time to head back down to our beachside home (and fridge!)
A pasta shop – pasta in every shape and size!
Walking downhill – slowly, avoiding cars and motorbikes, the footpaths are very narrow and cobbled (that is when there are footpaths)
The sea in the background our destination!
Half way down – the sea getting closer!
Back home for a baguette and fresh cheese then off to the beach for a swim!
We definitely are visiting this area at the right time of the year – spoiled for choice for our beach position. You may see the line of pebbles – this is where all the Italians sit (uncomfortably I would imagine) as they don’t like sand! So much sand for our taking!
Two swims and a snooze on the beach. Then a short stroll back up to our abode.
A cool fresh shower on our private courtyard! And the sun is starting to drop behind the tree and providing a bit of well needed shade
I guess we all know what this means….. it’s 5 o’clock somewhere in the world and the beer is chilling! The wanderers settle in for another blissful evening!
Well refreshed and ready to explore tomorrow!
All who wander are not Lost girls
