My week on the Amalfi Coast

Feragosta Fireworks

On the night of Feragosta we walked to Atrani to Amalfi, to get a ferry to watch the fireworks the fireworks. Before we got on the boat though we had gelati and a parade came through with the priest signing hymns and lots of people behind him.

We were going to two firework displays. The first one was at Maoiri. The ferry stopped out in the sea and we watched the fireworks. It wasn't the best fireworks I've ever seen but they were pretty awesome though. 

Then the ferry went to Positano. They were even better then the one in Maoiri. It was well past midnight so I was very tired. I fell asleep in my Dad's lap. We had to go back to Amalfi then to get off the boat and walk back to Atrani where our apartment was. It isn't a far walk at all. We stopped on the way home and looked at Atrani at night.

We got home and I collapsed like what the Roman Empire did and went to sleep. I rate it a 10 out of 10.

Amalfi Musical Show

Me and Emma wanted to see the opera. It wasn't really a opera where they just stand there, it was about Amalfi in the olden days.

We got our bad seats at the back where there was someone in front of you. Then some music came on and the show started. There was no one in the good seats that were in the good spots, so me and Emma nicked them.

In the Opera there was a baddy called Prince Sicardo and all the rest were goodies. The main two goodies were Antonio and Giovanna. There was lots of other characters too. The cool part was all the time they did fighting scenes and love romance parts. A TV screen had the words in English which was good.

Antonio and Giovanna loved each other but Prince Sicardo loved Giovanna. Prince Sicardo sent Giovanna to jail because she didn't love him. Then she pretend to love him so she could kill him she did but then he woke up and went to the high stage and the prisoners that the people freed killed him anyway so it was kind of funny.

After that the town was free.

While we were trying to look backstage after the show a lady came up to us and said do you want to meet your favourite character and have a photo. We said yes.

My favourite was Antonio and Emma's was Prince Sicardo who were the main characters.

I rate it a 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000out of 10

Positano 

After sitting on a bus driving on the crazy road to Sorrento, Mum and Dad decided that we should catch the ferry to Positano. It was a really pretty town built on steep cliffs and we had a walk around.

There are lots a art galleries and paintings of Positano to buy and we looked in lots of them. We had some lunch and went around to more of the painting shops but they were too pricey. I was inspired by so many good paintings that I wanted to do a sketch in my new sketch book.
 

 

While I was doing my sketch this tall man came passed and we could tell he was an Aussie. Emma said it was James Magnussen so I stopped doing my sketch and we chased after him. Dad asked if he was who we thought he was, he said "who do you think I am" and Emma said with a big smile on her face "You're James Magnussen". He smiled and we got a photo and had a quick chat. 

I rate the day
10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 out of 10
