Have moved a few kilometres down the coast to Amalfi. Even though it is only a few kilometres it is such a windy slow trip it took a couple of hours. The four of us in the taxi all started to feel sick. As we approached the Hotel Excelsior it looked pretty ordinary but once we got to our room the view was unbelievable. We opened our shutters and their stretched in front of us was the Mediterranean Sea. Our room is accessed by taking the lift down to the bottom of the hotel, walking along a terrace, taking another lift down inside the cliff, exiting through a tunnel and walking along another path.
We used the hotel shuttle bus to take us to town where we watched a few mega yachts being berthed. One is flying the Australian flag and is named RAM.
Amalfi is very like Positano. Lots of shops near the quay side which gradually give way to hotels and private houses. Had dinner on the hotel terrace overlooking the sea. Maître de is interesting he minces around the dining room sucking up to all the long staying English tourists.
