We spend a day discovering the city of Amalfi as we drove from Positano to Ravello; luckily we had a driver take us around because the roads are VERY small! If you drive a car any bigger than a mini cooper prepare to have it scraped and scratched by the oncoming traffic trying to get through the narrow streets.
There are road-side lemon stands all over Amalfi and these lemons are HUGE. We had to buy one to try and we can attest that they are very zesty. Their ginormous size makes them great for producing lots of limoncello, which you can find in just about any store in this area.

We saw the Duomo di Sant'Andrea Apostolo. Its beautiful exterior has lots of geometrical designs and although we didn't go inside (cost 3 euros) there is a crypt.

We followed the main town road to the museo della carta (paper museum) and looked through their gift shop. The rest of the day in Amafli we spent walking through the local streets and markets, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and eating pistachio gelato.

We are loving the beautiful weather, and are having a blast. Amalfi was a great stop along the way to our next destination...Ravello!
