Our Time in Amalfi, Ravello, and Paestum

We arrived late in Amalfi after waiting for a very long time for a bus. We had taken a train from Florence and it was running late. We were lucky to get the last bus from Salerno to Amalfi and arrived about 11:15. The trip is only 25k but because of the twisty roads it takes about an hour and a half. Our accomodations are fine but again wifi is a chore at best. This may be my last post until Rome.
We had a wonderful lunch in Ravello overlooking the Amalfi Coast. It is breath taking! The weather has been cooperating. Tom hates the bus rides up and around the mountains but I like them! He can't believe that I am anxious on the boat but not on the buses.
Yesterday we rode the buses to Paestum. It was far to travel but worth it to see the very well preserved Greek and Roman ruins from well over 2000 years ago. We are relaxing today in Amalfi and enjoying the warm weather. It rained overnight but it's great today. We will probably go to Positano tomorrow for the day. On Monday we plan a trip to Pompeii and then off to Rome.
