Positano

"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!Leer más
