Positano and Easter Processions

Decided to go to Positano by boat. About a 20 minute trip and a great wat to see Positano as it is almost vertical. A very upmarket and touristy place. There is the waterfront and beach with boats and chairs and umbrellas etc for hire. Above the beach is the town-very steep roads and laneways. We had bought our lunch stuff so we made our ham, cheese and tomato rolls siting in the shade right in front of the expensive restaurants. After lunch we caught the bus back to Amalfi.

In the evening there was the procession of Christ from the Duomo, around the village and up to another church.  It involved over 200 participants and all the town lights were turned off.  From our hotel reception (first floor) we could see the Duomo start and then from our room we could see the procession moving along the waterfront-very dramatic. The square was full of people. It all took over 2 hours.
