7th October

We stayed for the day in Amalfi, firstly walking hundreds of steps up to the cemetary, all terraced and on the top of the hill with magnificient views to the ocean.  The cemetary was well planned with most coffins in the walls, if you would like to place flowers on graves you just climb the ladder, all very interesting.  Going back down was so much easier, although having to always hold the hand rail is a must in some cases, very narrow lanes with houses perched on hillsides, it is always eye opening stuff and lemon groves all on the terraced hillsides.  They are renowned for lemoncello of which we have tasted every night, it is cheap to buy so a good drink to help us sleep hah. 
We did some shopping in the afternoon (a must) here as they have lovely clothes although a bit expensive, the shops are mostly touristy with all the usual souvenirs.  We made friends with a local Pizzeria where we bought something for dinner and lunch sometimes, they were a lovely young couple who were always friendly each time we walked past and sold us super food to sometimes take back to our appartment for dinner, they learned a bit about NZ and we gave them some souvenirs to remember us by.
