Amalfi walk/boat, Trattoria da Gemma
Ben got up and left at 5:45 a.m. to walk east toward the town of Amalfi, 17km away.
He arrived at 8:30 a.m., averaging 11 minutes/km, including stopping for photos, and then
he walked up past the harbor to
Hotel Luna
for a nice breakfast buffet, sitting outside on the terrace admiring the view of the harbor.
Ben explored for a few hours, finding a lovely wine store
Enoteca A' Puteca
where he purchased several nice wines, as well as a
1999
Berta
Tre Soli Tre Grappa de Nebbiolo da Barolo
and
the "house" Limoncello.
then met up with the rest of the crew, who had arrived via boat
from Positano.
We explored the city for another few hours, including the
Amalfi Duomo
before arriving just after noon at
Trattoria da Gemma
for a lovely lunch, accompanied by a
2005 Gaja Alteni di Brassica
and
2004 Valentini Trebbiano d'Abruzzo
Then it was back on the boat to Positano, where we had dinner at Villa Maura accompanied by
1998 Tenuta Greppo (Biondi-Santi) Brunello di Montalcino.
