Today was when we move down the hill nearer the beach but we are almost right below Robertos house at a tiny place called Castiglione which joins to Atrani then a 10 minute walk into Amalfi. We planned our last five nights here to be self contained. Roberto was so helpful and even dropped us and our luggage at our apartment mid morning along with a bag of lemons from his garden. We were welcomed by a couple of very nice ladies who showed us where everything was how the place worked. It took 4 keys for 4 different doors as we made our way through this maze before we reached our apartment and I'm thinking how are we going to remember these directions. They also had lemons in the fridge for us so now we have plenty. I must say I still haven't seen or tasted a lemon like a French Farm lemon. The apartment is just lovely with everything we need. It was great to have a washing machine so the first thing was to do a load of washing.

We then took ourselves into Amalfi, but first we had to find our way out through this maze of steps and tunnels between and under people's homes leading in all directions and hoped the keys were in the right doors. We finally made it to the bottom and after a couple of climbs back up we have almost got it right. After finding a boat hire in Atrani and booking for the following day we walked into Amalfi had a snack for lunch then searched out a supermarket. By then it was siesta time which we had forgotten about so we filled in time around the maze of shops and heaps of people until the supermarket opened again at 4.30. Finally we packed up our backpacks with food and walked on back to enjoy the sea views from our patio.

Our apartment is the building with the pink frontage on the far right underneath the cliff face with 2 doors that open out onto the verandah and a balustrade along the front.
