One of the Italian Dream Towns

Positano is everyone's favorite for destination weddings, and I ran into several young couples who were on their honeymoons.  We went to Ed Gabe's Lost Lake Lodge in Wisconsin for our honeymoon, and the cash we received at the wedding paid for it.  However, it's a new day.

Regardless of how you end up here, you will love it.  Get used to the walking, because the city fathers have steadfastly refused to put in the escalators and funiculars that many a hill town in Italy has incorporated into the landscape.  I stopped rather quickly for a bite to eat, and the half eaten panni on the table is my mozzarella and pomodoro version.  That and a small beer gave me claim on that table for half an hour while I drank in the sun and view.


As you move down the road, you are treated to cafe and hotel, one after another all with a wonderful view of the water and the town.



When I saw this collection of destinations on the way out of town, I thought Dean Martin should be here singing them.  If we added Vallari the list would be complete.  If you have traveled Europe, you know that you get from place to place with destination signs rather than route and highway numbers.  It is really a simple system, and it works.


On the way back to Amalfi, we made record time, and since I was standing for half the trip, I have the bruises to prove it.  Not really, but when you change direction every 100 meters or so, there is a bit of sway to the standers in the crowd.

Ciao for now!
