      Practically Perfect Positano 🍋

      September 12, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 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! 🚌🇮🇹🍋💃🏼✊🏻☀️🥵👅🕺🏼      Read more

      Amalfi obala - Maiori in Positano

      September 24, 2024 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 20 °C

      Sva gledala napoved, da naj bi bil torek zelo lep pa sva rekla dejva met prvič v celem dopustu plaža dan, nič počet samo ležati in se kopat...
      No pa je bla ponoc nevihta, ki je razburkala morje (prejšnji dan je bil zelo čist in mirn) tokrat pa valovit in polno ene trave.. sva šla 1x v vodo potem pa sva samo izlezavala na ležalniku😁☀️⛅️

      Nisva hotla spet imet mokrih las, saj sva bila namenjena v Positano na vecerjo - tokrat tudi midva bolj primerno oblečena, sva se zrihtala kar na plaži 👝📿👗👔💄      Read more

      Positano

      July 5, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 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!      Read more

      Amalfiküste

      December 23, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

      Einmal rund um die Halbinsel mit dem Mietwagen…. Man benötigt wesentlich mehr Zeit… wohl pro Ort einen Tag.
      Grundsätzlich sind alle Orte am besten zu Fuß zu erwandern.
      Mit einem großen Fahrzeug wird es schwierig, Gefahren wird nach dem Motto „der Frechere gewinnt“
      Haltemöglichkeiten entlang der Strecke sind nur wenige vorhanden 😢      Read more

      Traveling the waters off Amalfi coast...

      August 5, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      Last swim of the day. There was even an ice cream boat to tempt us. But the girls were too busy enjoying the water, even they didn't want to stop for ice cream.
      We had decided to have dinner before the climb out of Positano. Problem was it was only 6pm and dinner service didn't start til 7. It was so comfortable on the boat...even when anchored but back on shore it was sweltering. So we decided on a restaurant with AC and settled ourselves for gelato then mocktails and olive while we waiting for 7 to roll around. Then had dinner ☺️.
      I keep telling myself the climb wasn't that bad but I was tired by the time I got to the car. The girls were in some shop looking at postcards so I decided to get the car and bring it down, since the road is a one way.
      Thank goodness it was dusk by then...making the climb in the heat of the day may have finished me..its not that I'm out of shape just that swimming takes a lot out of you!      Read more

      Castellammare di Stabia to Scala

      October 9, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 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.      Read more

      Naples for Sorrento and Pompeii

      May 21, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Sorrento beach was cool...caught a lift down to it from the town above.
      Pompeii was so huge...the excavation takes so long with chipping away/around things with a tiny hammer... considering the whole city was buried!

      Craig was a trooper... pushing lady around in heat on cobbled paths...her daughter physically couldn't have done it.      Read more

      Amalfi Coast

      August 27, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      After our lazy day yesterday we were up early and back on the local train back to Naples to meet up with our tour bus that would take us along the Amalfi Coast. They call the road Mama Mia, as it is skinny and windy and when you watch the way the buses navigate the tight corners and windy road.

      The scenery was amazing and our first stop was Positano which is a beautiful village with it’s narrow winding paths down to the beach. Shame we only got an hour here, but we would love to come back and explore the coast. Pete couldn’t resist a swim in the Mediterranean. Then it was back on the bus and off to Amalfi where we hopped on a boat and cruised the coast checking out the beaches and the celebrity houses along the coast. We found a boat that looks like the one we should have! Haha!

      We then had lunch at a restaurant on the beach and had yum seafood Spaghetti and a new drink, a lemon spritz using limoncello, Prosecco, soda and limone gelati, very yum and refreshing.

      Our last stop was Revalla (not how you spell it) where there was fantastic views of the coastline and some wonderful ceramic showrooms. Pete nearly had a table shipped home!

      I took a travel sickness tablet (due to windy roads) and so I slept all the way back to Naples. A great taste of the Amalfi Coast and definitely a place we would like to go back to.

      When we got back to the apartment we cooled off in the tiny pool in the garden of our BnB and made another platter that we ate overlooking the garden. We went upstairs to the terrace and watched the sunset. A great end to a wonderful day, our last night in Italy! Off to Greece tomorrow.      Read more

      Chill Positano Day

      July 25, 2023 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 28 °C

      Today we had a sleep in and recharge, getting up at only 11am! Got some fresh eggs at the market and made brunch in our Airbnb together. Met Fang a local neighbourhood cat on the balcony after breakfast, and Matt decided to stay home with him for the day. Kandis and Sarah headed down the million stairs to Positano for a beach and local shopping adventure. We enjoyed the large waves and then found some gelato for an afternoon treat. We wandered the streets browsing local shops and making a few small purchases (only things that fit in our backpacks). For lunch we enjoyed pesto pasta and gnocchi while Matt had a salad above in Montepertuso in between his naps. Kandis and Sarah then braved the lines and crowds flagging down their bus and forcing their way on. Matt had kept the keys so Sarah climbed through the stairs railing to let her and Kandis back in. Now reunited as a trio we headed for dinner and then finished our night with drinks, a game of Mario party and late night snack.Read more
