Positano

Having studied various organised trips, in the region of 75€ we decided to make our own way to the Amalfi Coast using public transport. This would give us more freedom to spend the time as we wished.
All was well until we realised just how bendy and windy the roads were 🤢 Emma, who never gets travel sick was glad to get off at Positano! Poor Gill it was another Misson to Mars scenario so we had to find coke to stop the legs shaking! Definitely would not have made it to Amalfi.
Positano is a colourful, busy tourist attraction made up of restaurants, clothes and gift shops, lots of "lemony lemony" lemons and what we thought at the time to be chilli's, and Art. We found a garden bar away from the steep main road for nausea recovery.
Explored the beautiful tile shops where it was easy to spend £1000's on garden tables and pots. You had to pay 30€ to get on the crowded beach so opted for a bar with comfy seats that served drinks starting at €15 but at least you got complimentary butter bean's and olives! Emma was pleased to still have a swim and play with her Gourock taking in the colourful cliffside town from the sea. Positano definately warrants more then the hour offered on the organised tours.
Opted for a 2hour boat ride back to Serrento rather then risk the bus again.
We spent about €15 on transport today, compared to the organised tour prices Em considered that a "barg" so felt very smug enjoying the boat trip back, having spent a fabulous leisurely day there.

Finished the day off watching 3 Tenors at the Villa di Communical and Gillian realising she had lost her holiday wallet containing all her cash and cards! Not to worry, two OTs on your problem solved their way around this for the rest of the trip.Leggi altro
