We are hot……….it is early morning and it is hot………….but we have looked forward to getting to Amalfi and it should be hot in the middle of the summer right? But, still I am really hot! As I look out from our balcony on the ship I think there should be lots of doors here. Let’s go and find out…………..   Is it going to be all uphill?

It’s really steep…………

Amalfi sits on the side of steep, sheer cliffs…………..

It is getting warmer and warmer and the sweat is now dripping off my chin………..and I’m not even off the tender yet!

It is early Sunday morning and everyone is at the beach already! I guess I am not the only one hot!

“Finally,” you say, “a door.” When on Amalfi you get the beach door first.

Our main objective was not the beach, but Saint Andrew Cathedral, until I saw the steps. How many are there? Sixty-two, might as well be six hundred and sixty-two today.  Hmmmm……. the beach looked more inviting at this point. My hair is starting to curl from my sweat………

But, I’m committed now. I’ve seen the door…….I need a door photo for Norm.

A really big, solid, green-blue door………….with lots of marble curlicues and brass lion pulls.

More ornateness on the inside. (More about this cathedral in another post) I am just doing doors today, because I am hot.

I’ll throw in a gate too.

And some closed off doors from years past.

Some faces of the saints have been removed. The guide states it is from the Muslim invasion. I think they melted from the heat……..

Another fancy gate door.

I liked the marble on the walls, but the cathedral is so warm. Is that an escape door?

Or maybe this way……….

We’re out in the open air again. How about a nice toilet area with doors?

Or gate doors tucked away in the bougainvillea.

or doors at the out-door restaurants……….

or doors carved into the mountainside.

We are going back to the pier now….it is simply too hot and we have more to see today.

Have a great door week! Look here to see what others are doing for Norm’s Doors!

It’s easy to do Norm’s Doors. Photograph some doors and post them to Thursday Doors on Thursday!

PS All photos were taken on our IPhones this year……..we are traveling lighter!
