Positano

Took a 1 hour ferry to Positano with stunning views of the coast. Positano isn’t huge and building on new sites is banned in order to retain the town’s charm. We didn’t spend long in the town centre before catching a taxi way up the hill to a restaurant for lunch. This place had been recommended to us by friends in Adelaide and it really was incredible. No choice in the menu but the food was delicious. Way too much to eat with the traditional antipasto, pasta, meat and dessert courses.

We took the local bus back to the town centre after lunch. What an experience! Jam packed with locals and drunk tourists who had just finished a full day cooking school. The bus was very small, to fit around tight counters and narrow streets. Scary! Then one local pulled out a microphone and speaker and got the whole bus singing! Very, very funny.

After that bus trip we were so hot and sweaty that we went for a swim. Most of the beach front has expensive paid reclining chairs with umbrellas leaving a small area for free swimming. Nothing like Australian beaches with black organic sand and pebbles. Very salty water that wasn’t that cold, but we were desperate!

Lovely ferry ride home in the cool evening 😊Read more
