Good Friday: La costiera amalfitana

 After a not so long sleep, we struggled to wake up at 2:30 AM. We headed down the main street of Sorrento to a church in which the white procession of Good Friday would begin. In a crowded piazza we listened to the band and choir as a seemingly endless amount of people left the church wearing white robes and carrying a variety of objects such as; torches, banners, crosses and the focal point of the procession, a large statue of Mary. After finding the wondering Kieran Kirk we all headed back to our hotel for a well deserved sleep.

We all headed to breakfast at 7:30 after trying and on the most part failing to get some more sleep. We then boarded our interestingly painted bus and headed for the picturesque Amalfi coast. We had what was supposed to be an hour, but ended up being 30 minutes after the long walk, of free time in the beautiful Positano. After boarding our bus we headed to the much larger Amalfi when we got two hours of free time for lunch, exploring and for the more daring, a quick dip. After heading a little further up the coast and seeing the amasing view at Ravallo we started heading back to our hotel in Sorrento.

Tonight we are attending the black procession which is similar to the white procession that we attended this morning. Tomorrow we have the long journey to Assisi and hopefully a longer sleep than last night.

Untill tomorrow,
Liam G and Jonno L,
Da T-Team for Good Friday.
