We never found a pastry shop in Praiano, so we bought a few breakfast items at the mini market on our street, and Mark made our espresso. We ate breakfast on the balcony again while planning our day. Other travelers had told us we must go to Pompeii, but that would have required two bus rides each way, so we decided to spend another day exploring Praiano.
On the way out of our building I had to pluck a couple of kumquats from this shrub. So sweet and tart! I think it's my favorite fruit, and I never see it in our stores. We descended the many flights of stairs leading back to the main street, and then down again until we finally reached the water's edge. Mark counted 394 steps between the main street and the water. Here are some pics I took along the way.
We also saw the Church of St. Gennaro on this walk:

| I had this beautiful strawberry cocktail with the pizza we ate for lunch at an outdoor restaurant where the tables are set up on stairs. Mark and I always shared a pizza, but most patrons ate a whole one themselves!
Oh - we also found a little shop on the main street where Mark was able to buy an Italian T-shirt. We traveled light, Rick Steves backpack style, which was convenient at times but also meant we could run out of clothes when damp weather made air drying take a bit longer than needed!
