Our Great Day in Positano and Sorrento!


Woke up in Sorrento. Our hotel is spectacular! We have an amazing view of the coast to the west, and also to the east to hilly homes and small farms. We took the free shuttle bus down the hill in the morning to the center of Sorrento, and found a taxi driver to take a us to Positano on the Almalfi coast. Our driver was great! His name was Antonio and he spoke great English and the taxi ride toured into a great excursion to Positano… stopping for photos along the way, etc, etc.

Positano is a small town on the side of the mountain. We got dropped off at the top of the town and wondered down the streets and back allys, through beautiful shops and restaurants until we reached the beach. Greg went for a swim in the Mediterrean and then we both laid out in the sun for awhile, before we had a great lunch at a waterfront café.

We then took a hike over a cliff to another beach and back again before we boarded a ferry boat back to Sorrento.

After returning to our hotel to freshen up, we went back into town (Sorrento) for some strolling and dinner. It was a beautiful night and a great day. It felt like our first real day of vacation! Yay!

California

Since we had a wedding to go to in California, we decided to stay in the Golden State instead of returning to Boise and having to come back....
