Positano


Enjoying the sun in this lovely little fishing town turned resort.

Here is the view from our balcony - Kurt and Deanne's balcony was just two doors down.

Lots of little alleys and buildings to enjoy.

Amazing Insalata di Mare at Ferdinando's on the beach.






Leaving Positano was hard - but the four of us piled into a private car for rollercoaster ride to Napoli’s Centrale Stazione. 













At 10am we checked our luggage at the station, walked to Mueseo di Fisca (Physics Musuem) – a superb collection of early scientific instruments.

To finish our third and final visit to Naples, we took a stroll down Via San Biagio Ailibarai (that mouthful is a street full of small shops and restaurants) and found lunch at a local café where Italian was the only language.


We got back to the station by 12:30pm in time to catch the 12:50pm high speed train to Florence.
