SOS: RAINING IN AMALFI

Message: I am going to be in Amalfi next week and weather.com is predicting T-storms throughout Italy. Does anyone have suggestions of how to spend time in Amalfi/Positano in the rain?

No need to repost the same question, especially only about 20 minutes apart!

As for your question, are you traveling alone? If so, perhaps get out your umbrella and shop or visit galleries. If not, maybe you can enjoy the romance from your hotel room.

1) go to the arch. museum in Naples
2) go to Le Sirenuse and have a massage at their spa
3) go through the museum at the Amalfi cathedral (located underneath)
4) do everything you were going to do, but do it in the rain.

I went to see Herculaneum in the rain and it was great - no one else was there - really, we had it all to ourselves. It rained when I was there in Sept. too! I also saw Villa Cimbrone in the rain the first time. It was fabulous. I shopped in Sorrento in the rain too!

Be sure to take a light all-weather jacket because I got cold on a stormy day in Positano. The wind really whips up around the dock. One day during a storm I was cold, the next day it was very hot. Hopefully you will have some nice days, but don't let the rain stop you!! You will still love it! I am going back for my 4th time since '98 next year.

We toured Pompeii in the rain. Sure, we would have preferred sunny weather, but we managed fine.
