Another bucket list destination (will we ever run out of them?), was the Amalfi Coast. Of all of the places to stay, we chose Amalfi. Primarily because there are less steps here than in Positano. However, having done our day trip to Positano, we appreciate other benefits to staying here. There is a nice long sea front with a beach and a wide street sloping though the town while in Positano it is beach or up up up. No in between. But we have been now so no regrets
And Capri. Well, that is the place of dreams. So we went there as well. At first, arriving in the marina was a real disappointment. I mean, one cannot imagine why anyone would ever step foot on the island. But then you take the funicular up to the town of Capri and it all becomes apparent. There you find the views and a maze of chic high end boutiques and the piazzetta and the very obvious distinction between we day-trippers and the folks who “belong” there.
So check, check, and a lunch check. (Oh and the promised first actual view of Vesuvius in as much as you could not see anything but the base on the drive down from Naples. But yesterday it was clearly visible across the bay.)
