Sorrento and the beginnings of the Amalfi Coast.  The Isle of Capri can be seen peeking above in the distance.

A sheer bluff along the Amalfi Coast east northeast of Sorrento.

Positano.  How would you like to live here?

A church and square towards the bottom of the hill in Positano.

Positano, down towards sea level looking back up one of the streets.

I didn't get the whole story behind this building, but it is in a crag in the middle of town.  A stream runs to the left.  I heard something about it being an old mill of some sort, and also of it being used as a hideout at various times.

Another shot of the mill/hideout down in the crag in Sorrento.

The old market street off of Piazza Tasso in Sorrento.

Further down the old market street.  It was lined with all sorts of neat shops.  And almost all of them sold Limoncello!

A neat plaza (or something) in the square along the old market street in Sorrento.

Not sure if this is a church, but it has a really cool bell tower, and they rang out about 11:45.  Not sure why, but the sound was awesome!

Looking out to the Bay of Naples from the bridge over the crag adjacent to Piazza Tasso in Sorrento.

A zoomed shot looking through the crag out across the Bay of Naples from the bridge adjacent to Piazza Tasso in Sorrento.  That's a portion of greater Naples across the bay.
