Perfect Weather for Positano

A good night's sleep meant we were ready for another full day of adventures! We left the apartment and headed to the marina. This is where ALL the ferry boats depart from for other near by islands and ports of call. Today's destination: Positano. We timed the departure of the ferry perfectly ...by accident. We were planning on a later ferry but got to the marina sooner than we thought, so we were able to catch an earlier boat. The ride took about an hour. The price was 15 Euros each way per person. The views the entire way were amazing!

FYI...if you are going to be wearing sandals, you might consider the pedicure as an option. Just putting it out there for all the gentlemen.

Walking around Positano means hills and stairs...and more stairs. But the walk was very cool through narrow alleyways with cobblestones and gorgeous cliff views everywhere. We found a great place for a late breakfast/early lunch with amazing views. We timed getting a table on the railing perfectly as there was a group leaving.

Later in the afternoon as we were walking (uphill), we hopped on the local SITA bus (which travels from town to town) for only 2 Euros per ride. The bus rides around the Amalfi Coast consist of tight turns with some ballsy bus drivers. Taking the bus allowed us to get to a further town we would not have had an opportunity to see. A cute little hillside town of Praiano. We ran into three people from Ontario that were also tackling the stairs. Their shirts gave them away as one was wearing a Blue Jays shirt and another wearing a Sleeman's shirt. It is always fun to swap travel stories with some fellow Canadians!

Back to Positano to notice that the beach area was way more crowded and the vibe seemed really cool with all the beach bars packed with people and the tunes were cranked. Good times! We enjoyed some gelato in order to keep up with our goal of trying to indulge every day while in Italy.

Ferry ride back to Sorrento was standing room only. But that was ok because we were at the back of the ferry in open air which was fantastic for the 45 minute ride back. Again, great views along the coast, all the way!

We enjoyed some snacks and beverages on our balcony once we returned to the apartment before heading out for dinner. Very Italian dinner choices: spaghetti and ravioli were our menu choices...and wine, of course! Dinner was delicious.

Step count today: 21 645...many of those were stairs!
