On Wednesday September 19th our small group (Barry, Doug, Irene, Pam and myself) said goodbye to our new friends and headed for  Sorrento.  Some of the group had already  left in the middle of the night to catch flights home.  Others were going on to new adventures in other parts of Europe.  By nine a.m.  we were loaded in our van to take us to Sorrento.  We  had hired the van and driver for four hours so we could have one last leisurely look at the coast.    Our first stop was Ravello to check out the scenery on a nicer day, although it was still a bit cloudy out first thing.  After that we got some different  views of Posatano and stopped at a few other places along the way into Sorrento.  

As you can see it was still cloudy  for our overlook of Ravello.  Still, there were very interesting cloud formations.

A similar shot zoomed in a little bit in black and white.  

A cafe in Ravello. It was too early for most people to up and out so it was nice to walk around the town with fewer people. 

Pam and I asked if we could the picture of the little dog who was happy to pose for us.  

A view of the town of Amalfi.  The Hotel Santa Caterina on the left side of the photo is a very well known five star hotel.  From the hotel an elevator transports guests directly down  to the Beach Club.  

A view from the road near the town of Amalfi.   We stopped to look at the  white mansion (see middle of photo)  that once belonged to Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti.   

Another view of the area.

A close up view of the stairs leading down to the water.  We couldn't quite figure out how one would get to the water from the last step.  

Our  driver and his friend wanted a coffee stop on the way to Positano so we all got out, admired the views and stretched our legs.  

We had to stop here to stop here to take a picture of where we had been stuck in the rain storm earlier in the week.

On the side of the road someone had built a little miniature town.  We had seen it from the bus windows when we had been forced to stop.

We stopped at a ceramic store on the side of the road and I wandered around outside.

A view of Positano which was our last stop before arriving in Sorrento.
