Part IV: Positano also known otherwise as heaven on earth

{our hotel’s terrace, Albergo California}
{Le Sirenuse hotel where Only You was filmed}
{heading towards Capri for the day}

Positano was nothing short of spectacular.  We felt a bit like we were in a fairy tale there.  In fact, I’ve said to my husband a few times since arriving home, “Did it all really happen?”  We were in Rome (that’s for tomorrow!) shortly, than left for Positano.  Getting to Positano feels a bit like the movie title Planes, Trains, and Automobiles… we took a train from Rome to Naples, a subway from Naples to Sorrento, and a bus from Sorrento to Positano.  It was about ten o’clock at night when we were trudging down their main street, Via Cristoforo Colombo, past restaurant-goers with our huge backpacks on.  But, alas, we had arrived at Albergo California (which we just discovered is in the movie Under the Tuscan Sun!).  We unpacked quickly, showered, and headed out for my favorite gelato of the whole trip: peach (which, in Italian is pesca; I was suspicious of fish-flavored gelato).  Then we spent three amazing days loving life and… the coast of Italy.  We took a boat ride to Capri, checked out all the amazing boats in their marina, ate, had too-expensive gelato at J.K. Place Capri (but appreciated their fiiiine interior decorating) and walked around.  Back to Positano, ate, swam, got stung by jellyfish (just me… whatever jellyfish, whatever!), ate, walked, slept, ate, walk, swam.  You get the picture.  It was ridonkulous.

  11. I don't know Ahn (other than the fact that she's a great guest poster), but I read her comment and…
    …I'd love to tag along on that trip- because odd #'s don't work well in traveling. I'd be 🙂 to even it up for you guys.

    Seriously- the pictures are absolutely beautiful. Too beautiful to even pick a favorite, but I do love the ones with both of you in them. Can't wait for Rome!

  17. bridget, your trip looks like a dream! I went to Italy when I backpacked in college, but I missed out on the coast! I think I was secretly waiting to go back with a handsome man in tow! looks so romantic 🙂

    p.s. the pesto lasagna a few posts back is making my mouth water. I NEED IT NOW.

    Positano was my favorite – loved the every inch of it! so crazy we were there at almost the exact same time.
