	John Plested of Bermuda, took these photos in June 2006 during a cruise on the "Windsurf", a Holland America ship that carries no more than 308 passengers and because it is smaller than the usual cruise ships, is able to pull into ports off the beaten track, like Amalfi. According to John, Amalfi is "literally built into the surrounding mountainsides. It was very old and interesting. A difficult place to take pictures of though because everything tended to be vertical. The architecture in the old cathedral was beautiful even though it had been damaged by volcano ash and earthquakes over the centuries." VIGALAND is delighted to share these photos with you and we thank John for sharing them.
