Positano

Positano was a postcard. We had to take a train from Naples to Sorrento, then a bus from Sorrento to Positano but all the travelling was worth it.

From the moment we stepped on the black pebbled beaches of Positano our relaxation had begun. The beach was filled with tourists and locals. Brock and I found ourselves surrounded by a college “study abroad” group of students who were vacationing in Positano for the weekend. It was nice to be surrounded by English speakers, but the romantic feel went fleeing when we heard the college students talking about hook ups, Kegers, and the latest gossip. We consulted our Rick Steves’ travel book and took his advice and hiked to the locals’ secluded beach.

The views were amazing. At any given moment we could look to either side and see the most beautiful crystal blue water sparkling in the sunlight. Sail boats set sail and tropical flowers were the brightest of colors blooming all around us. Cute, Southern style, Italian villas overlooked the beach and the quaint cliff side town brought us the best cuisine. In the slow pace lifestyle on this beach off of the Amalfi coast, there is so much that is offered. Cliff diving, boating, snorkeling, and hiking are just some of the things you can do to enjoy the environment around you. For Brock and my agenda, being alone, soaking up the sun, and laying out was all we had planned.

We enjoyed day 2 of our mini vacation adventure laying out and playing in the water. If anyone is looking for a romantic get-a-way in the most beautiful kept secret of Southern Italy…GO! From the words of my husband, “Positano is the place to be!” He even promised that we would one day return and spend a lot more time enjoying this Southern Italian beach.
