Positano day2

We got up, had two cappuccinos, and ran down 692 steps to catch the ferry to Isle of Capri. No dice. Water too rough. This is good news since I have the barfing gene. My Dad missed 21 straight meals on the troop ship in WWII. On return home, he started barfing 15 miles inland from the harbor in anticipation. And he was a war toughened vet by then.

So....off to Pompeii. We stopped at tourist bureau for the down low. Bus leaves in 10 min from Sponda at 9:30. We race halfway back up the mountain and arrive at bus stop. Talk to Australian couple who are headed home. We talk for an hour. Where is bus. We get on and head to Amalfi/Pompeii.

  We got on the bus from hell. Look at all the squiggly lines from Positano to Amalfi. 20 miles took about two hours. Then look at squiggly lines going north from Amalfi. Spectacular coastal and mountain sights. 15€ each for round trip ride of about 5 hours. Only 4 of us on the return. There is no logic in Italy. It just is. Steep drop offs. Got nothing on Pacific Coast Highway in Big Sur. Driver got ovation several times getting through sticky spots. Scooters coming the other way in our lane gave me a headache. No room for error! Always time for makeup😎 Small boy at Pompeii. Workers were excavating almost 2000 years later and observed bones through a small hole. They poured plaster of Paris into hole and then could excavate the form. Man with a burro. (Burro not present) must of happened fast enough so they could not escape, but not so fast they didn't realize what was happening. Lisa's finest hour.  Can't show you next photo. There was a commotion and I had to go to "check in" and bail out the poor girl.
