Little Easter

Today is Pasquetta, aka Easter Monday, so I and most of Naples went off for a little gita. Lots of people take picnics to use up the leftovers from yesterday's feast, but we just just went out for a few hours in the morning so that we'd avoid the crowds and the traffic coming back at least.

We went to Amalfi. It was a beautiful day and people were on the beach and in the sea already! We didn't stop for long as it was so busy, not easy to park etc. Lots of vigile were giving parking tickets out too - no Easter spirit there.

We noticed that very few people wore seatbelts in Amalfi...Even a man who stopped to a police man for directions was without seatbelt. Gasp!

The first photo below was taken on our way there. The black and green nets are used to cover the lemons. I'm not exactly sure why, but something to do with the amount of light they receive I think.
