    Practically Perfect Positano 🍋

    12. september 2023, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Early rise this morning at 6 am, followed by ‘feeding time at the zoo’… But, a little (tiny) better of a food selection than yesterday… Exploration of the beautiful Amalfi coast today… First stop was Sorrento where German and I enjoyed a relaxing coffee at one of the side walk cafes… After ditching the commentated tour leader with her incessant babbling… There is only so much of the historical aspects we need to hear about. It’s go, go, go…. Sometimes you just want to relax! So we took a moment to be in the moment 🧘🏻‍♂️

    This trend continued throughout the day, allowing us to more comfortably, relax and enjoy the 30° weather, and the picture postcard scenes all along the Amalfi coast.

    Second destination was Positano, and it honestly takes your breath away as you will see in the pictures. Instagram models around every corner, snapping themselves in various ‘wanky’ poses! 😳🙄💃🏼

    Tale from Positano 👉

    In ancient times, a Turkish boat became beached just off the shores of what has since come to be known as Positano. Aboard the ship was a painting of the Virgin Mary. Legend has it that the captain heard the painting whisper "posa, posa" ('set me down, set me down') and he obediently threw the image into the sea 🌊

    We had simple lunch of panini with ham & cheese 🧀 and absolutely delectable pastry 🥐 full of lemon 🍋 cream: famous in area! We enjoyed sitting in front of the amazingly beautiful cathedral down by the Bay. We then boarded a boat (shit show #1) that took us along the rest of the coast passing by Praiano and stopping at Amalfi, which I think is my favourite town of the day!
    Lemons everywhere! 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋

    We made sure that we had the obligatory lemon 🍋 sorbet inside the lemon with a leaf 🍃 sticking out the top and bees swarming around it! At €10 it is pretty expensive, but you just have to go with the flow! 😜

    I won’t go into the absolute shit show of boarding and un-boarding on the boats that ferry along the coast to the towns along the Amalfi coast! It is a simply breathtaking area but due to the difficulties in navigating and access & the geographical restrictions to these towns (…along with the exorbitant tourist trap 🪤 prices I don’t think I will re-visit, so I am making the most of this once-in-a-lifetime experience! 🚌🇮🇹🍋💃🏼✊🏻☀️🥵👅🕺🏼

    Amalfi hopping 🌊☀️

    18. juli 2023, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    "1 influencer holiday please" - Alfred
    Today we hopped around from Napoli to Bomerano, hiked the Path of the Gods around to Positano and finally jumped on a bus over the mountains to Sorrento! The hike followed the cliff line around the point so we got close to 360° views of the sea and the coast. Positano was gorgeous but also packed with people and kind of overwhelming because every second person was hardcore posing in their white linen dress or bikini trying to get Insta shots - I respect the hustle but it was impossible to move without getting in someone's photo by accident! We went for a swim under the colourful houses and had most of the swimming area to ourselves because Europeans like to stand in a line at chest-depth just off the sand because no one can swim 🤠 The beaches here are also volcanic and have black sand which gets unbelievably hot in the sun which was a fun added challenge! The bus trip over to Sorrento went along the cliff line too which would have been the best views of the day if we hadn't done the hike! Sorrento offended me greatly because they had no free beaches and as an Australian I consider it my God Given Right to swim at at beach. So we found some other Aussies and hopped over a sea wall and clambered down some rocks to have a swim just outside the fenced off area (dodging the SNAV's waves on the way in and out 😳). We then stumbled upon the only reasonably priced lemoncellos in all of Sorrento in what felt like some picnic furniture in an Italian Nonna's back yard which were just ridiculously strong and when combined with maybe a little bit of dehydration went straight to the brain. One train ride later we were back in Napoli and stopped for the best pasta of the trip so far at a restaurant on our way home to a big sleep!Les mer

    Positano

    5. juli 2023, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Another nice sleep in and relaxing morning! We decided to venture to Positano today. We travelled foot falcon down to Amalfi town, bloody beautiful walk! We got to take in the scenery without the stress of the bus.

    📍 Ferry to Positano - this was such a pretty way to go between the towns. You could see from the ferry how grand the Amalfi coast is - the cliffs are huge! We could even see our air bnb, it was the highest house that we could see from the water 🤣

    📍 Positano - the view arriving here was breathtaking! We walked around the town which was really cute, very busy but felt calmer than Amalfi town. There were more boutique shops and less of the tourist ones. Delicious sangas for lunch from Lulu Capprici.

    📍 Spiaggia Fanillo - we found a cute little quiet beach about 15 minutes walk from the main one. So much nicer and beautiful water. We swam here for an hour before heading back to Amalfi on the ferry.

    📍 Dinner @ Lo Smeraldino which was on the waterfront. Such a cute place with delicious pizzas!

    Set off on the walk back to the air bnb! 50 minutes uphill with some crazy steep stair climbs, safe to say we worked off our pizza! Still better than the bus 🤣

    Amazing day today, super glad we went to Positano!

    Positano

    17. april, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Endlich geschafft und es ist einfach traumhaft und fast kitschig schön! Generell die Amalfiküste und insbesondere auch Positano. Sie gehört zur Provinz Salerno in Kampanien und hat ca. 3.700 Einwohner. Wir wohnen sehr zentral im Hotel Villa delle Palme und haben ein schönes Zimmer mit grandioser Aussicht 🤩Les mer

    Amalfi Küste im Touri Geschehen

    4. april, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Eins steht fest, Positano lebt vom Tourismus. Hier kostet der Caffè con latte direkt mal den dreifachen Preis und die 1-stündige Fährfahrt dorthin war teurer als unsere beiden Nachtfährfarten zusammen. Was man nicht alles macht um Amalfi zu erleben. Nichtsdestotrotz Positano ist ein zuckersüßes Städtchen an der Küste mit guter Bade Gelegenheit!

    Zitronen gibt es so weit das Auge reicht von Kleidung über Souvenirs, Geschirr bishin zu Zitroneneis in halben Zitronen. Es wird deutlich es ist ist città della limone 🍋🍋🍋

    Sentiero degli Dei

    29. oktober 2024, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Ce matin, on petit dej à l’auberge et on part à 9h30. On veut prendre le bus de 10h mais il faut d’abord aller acheter les tickets dans un tabac. À l’arrêt de bus, on rencontre une québécoise et un couple de québécois. Le bus passe sous notre nez sans s’arrêter. On s’aperçoit en fait qu’il existe plusieurs plannings et qu’ils sont différents… On attend, il y en a bien un autre qui va passer. 10h30, on monte dans le bus déjà plein. C’est parti pour 1h15 de bus debout.
    Aujourd’hui, c’est randonnée sur la côte amalfitaine. On fait le chemin des dieux : « Sentiero degli Dei ». La partie la plus fréquentée est celle de Bomerano à Nocelle. C’est en fait la partie en hauteur, avec une belle vue, sur laquelle il n’y a pas beaucoup de dénivelé, la partie facile quoi ! Mais il faut aller jusqu’à Amalfi, prendre un autre bus pour se rendre au départ et un autre pour redescendre. Pas question, nous on est des grands sportifs ! 💪
    On descend donc à Praiano, une ville entre Positano et Amalfi, et on monte beaucouuup de marches avant de rejoindre le sentier le plus commun. En effet, c’est bien plus fréquenté que la partie du début, et toujours plein de français. Heureusement, on n’est pas en haute saison, il n’y a pas énormément de monde. C’est joli, il y a des passages sous les arbres, des vues sur la mer, les falaises… Mais malheureusement le temps est très brumeux. Il fait humide, il y a comme un voile. On se pose pour pique-niquer vue sur la mer et c’est reparti.
    Arrivés à Nocelle, on continue jusqu’à Montepertuso. Un village où les gens n’ont pas l’air d’avoir l’habitude de voir des touristes. Ils sont super gentils. Ils nous demandent si on cherche qqch et nous renseignent pour une fontaine, nous disent tous bonjour… On entame ensuite la descente (encore par des escaliers) jusqu’à Positano. On y arrive vers 16h. On fait un petit tour dans les rues et on remonte car la route du bus est plus haut… Ça fait beaucoup de marches dans la journée !
    On monte encore dans un bus plein, on est tous entassés. Je n’imagine pas en haute saison. On arrive à Sorrente, ou plus précisément à Sant’Agnello (où on loge) à 18h. On rentre à l’auberge prendre notre douche et on ressort manger au resto. Ce soir c’est lasagnes pour Paulo et parmigiana pour moi. Miam on se régale.

    Castellammare di Stabia to Scala

    9. oktober 2024, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    What a roller coaster ride!
    Hotel was wonderfull and best of the trip. Breakfast at 7:30 and we hit the road straight after. The first part from Scala past Positano to Amalfi was as they show on TV really beautiful. Also Adelé's favourite place in Italy. This first stretch of 40km took 2.5 hrs by itself due to traffic! From Amalfi we turned east towards Parco Nazionale del Cilento on the OLD SS18 road. And old it was! Some places closed, broken down rallye cars and completely closed right at the end, and another 2hr detour.
    Lunch was - you guessed it, supermarket sandwiches. And some fruit... Did about 320km today and got to the hotel just as the sun set over the sea.

    Journée qui a démarré assez tôt ce matin, on nous a prévenu, il y a du monde sur l'itinéraire que l'on va emprunter: la route qui longe la côte Amalfitaine de Positano à Amalfi. L'orage s'est arrêté, la météo est encore nuageuse mais on en prend quand même plein les yeux en traversant ces villages suspendus qui surplombent la mer 🤩Les mer

    Amalfi Coast

    30. september 2024, Italia ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

    Nach Kappadokien ist die Amalfi Küste der zweite Stop der mega gehyped wird. Und wiedermal ist der Hype absolut gerechtfertigt. Mit Olaf sind die Straßen zwar schon sehr eng und spontan anhalten ist schwierig aber einfach nur entlang der Küste zu fahren ist atemberaubend. Wir fahren durch super schöne Orte mit alten Gebäuden und entlang steiler Klippen mit super schönen Terrassen als Gärten. Ein absoluter Traum.
    Einmal halten wir zum Baden an einem Privatstrand und einmal in Sorrento. Beides einfach super schön.
    Plätze zum Schlafen sind hier zwar sehr rar gesät, aber wir finden einen und genießen den Sonnenuntergang.
