The activity for September 16th was mini-cruise in the morning.  Fortunately there was no rain in site on this beautiful sunny morning.  We all walked to the main pier in town where we found our local boat.   This was our second boat ride on the coast and like the first one very enjoyable.  The idea was to photograph scenes so people could identify where the picture was located- in other words put local icons into the shots.  I found the scenery so nice that I didn't necessarily follow the advice.   We sailed by Ravelo, Amalfi and then stopped briefly in Positano before heading back to the hotel for lunch.  After lunch a small group of us hiked up the hills to the next town of Minori.   After exploring Minori we walked back to Maiori along the "famous" Amalfi Coast  road.

The beach at Positano which was crowded even before noon.  

Sailing by the town of Amalfi but not on the ship you see.

Another view of Positano.

We could see gardens everywhere in the hills.

No one sunbathing today.

After lunch some of us hiked over to the next town of Minori.   On the way we walked by the Collegiata di Santa Maria a Mare.   I admired the beautiful Dome tiled in majolica of green and yellow which is typical of the coast.

A view of the harbour and castle.  

I liked where this flower was growing.

We stopped to take pictures of these cats enjoying the warm summer day.  Pam was trying to take at least one picture of a cat each day.

One of these houses on the hill was for sale.  It might have been this one but I'm not positive.  You would think some one would buy it just for the view.

  As I mentioned previously, I took lots of pictures of laundry drying outside, probably because of the colors and the fact that I rarely see laundry been hung out to dry in Toronto.

If you didn't like one view, there was always another one right around the corner.  

I liked this architecture in the town of Minori.

While in Minori our group  stopped for a snack at this cafe.

I walked down to the beach before we started for home and saw this little boy checking out the boat. 

This is the Amalfi Coast Road that we walked on to get back to Minori.  As you can see the road is very narrow so not much room for pedestrians.  In the distance you can see one of  the few stop lights along the whole coastal road.

I glanced at the road beside me and just happened to see the little dog riding on the motorcycle.  I wasn't quick enough with the camera to get the whole bike in. 

We got back to Minori just as it was getting dark  to find an almost  deserted beach.

There were still fisherman out getting the last catch of the day.
