I’m sat on the pretty shaded terrace outside our room looking at palm trees and a clear blue sky accompanied by the endless sounds of traffic and the next door building site.
Walked to the local laundrette and did some washing this morning. Found a nice café attached to a lemon farm to wait (while Si went back to put stuff in dryer!) they insisted on giving us their limoncello to try. Josie and I had creamy iced coffee Will had cookie and nutella ice-cream. We then had a quick look in the lemon farm where they gave us some more limoncello to try. We bought some anchovies, cheese and tomatoes to eat back at the hotel for lunch.

In the afternoon we got the bus to Positano which was harder than it sounds. We struggled to work out where to get tickets and where to get the bus. Some tourists told us in the end. Amazing journey right by the cliff edge at one point if feels like being suspended above the sea. Walked down to a not very nice beach for a swim and then along a pretty path to a nicer but by that time shady beach. Most of the beaches you have to pay (E12 each sometimes) and the public beaches are always a small scabby bit.
We walked back up the hill to catch the 6.40 bus back but it was full and didn’t stop so went for a meal instead. Had linguine Vongole (clams) and Josie had ravioli. It was delicious and fantastic view over the bay. Went back for the 9.10 bus that did stop but we couldn’t get on. They then sent an extra bus that we did get on but some people had to stand all the way. Walked back from Sorrento – it is hard work being on holiday (but they did have pizza for breakfast).
