Andrew – So we went and we barbequed and we drank and possibly got a little bit drunk.

An Italian barbeque is not like an Australian one let me tell you. There was antipasti to die for and cheese! Ate so much cheese we should be clogged up the wazoo for weeks. I guess it helps if your new Italian friends own a delicatessan/ butcher shop.

Having done the tour of the deli earlier in the day it was amazing to sit and have a seriously hot Italian show off his wares (so to speak).

Note : I am not down with meeting strangers, in fact sometimes I think that maybe my subconscious thinks I have enough friends and that is why I get iffy meeting new people. However when you get home at 2am I guess things have gone smashingly.

Starting to get a little messy.

An 11am wake up with a splitting headache meant nurofen stat! Followed by lots and lots of water. Holy Moly I am too old for this caper. I wonder when I forgot I wasn’t 18 anymore.

Nothing to do but head for the beach to catch the boat to Da Adolfo, for some lunch and needless to say more vino. Nothing beats a hot shirtless Italian boat driver when you are in need of a distraction from your brain trying to separate from your skull.

Unfortunately hot Italian boat driver has put his shirt back on.

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!

Lunch was fabulous although it was a bit cool to swim…. Lucky really considering my fear of the beach (not the beach as such, just sharks) even though Vincenzo said I had one in a billion chance of being taken by a shark here. Not so trusting of his English just yet though.

More food tonight and more fucking stairs. Lucky we are coming home to cold weather – at least we can wrap some layers over my ever expanding gizzard. No idea why all this exercise isn’t shifting any weight!

Fatty, fat, fat from Positano campers. xx


Lucy - Today, actually scrap that. The last 24 hours would have some of my favourite experiences this entire trip. A tour through the streets with our new best friend Christine, told us a lot about the history of Positano.

The BBQ last night was not cancelled therefore we were out partying until 2am….. Yes campers, apparently we haven’t lost it yet, actually, come to think of it, we never really had it!  Anywho a partying we went on this fine Positano night. 

Our hosts were fabulous & we experienced a real Italian evening out. The FOOD….Holy Shitmoley, THE FOOD. It just kept on coming & coming & coming…..Who were we to argue….. Just eat I kept thinking, we all know I’m good at eating…take one for the team, eat til you burst.

Our hosts Christine & Vincenzo were fabulous. The wine, the food & the company were amazing. I could live this way of life all the time. Siesta followed by family/friend gatherings at night, til late, are a fabulous way to live.

When I woke up early this morning to chat to Sawusband, I had had approximately 4 hours sleep…. Still able to hold a conversation, well maybe he should be the judge of that, we spoke for quite a while before I headed back for a nap.

Today we ventured to a little cove & had a most fantastic lunch. It was so rustic and family oriented. The food was divine. We dined on a seafood extravaganza of Octopus, prawns, salmon, tuna, mussels, sardines I could go on but that would just be bragging.

We sat on stones which is their sand, totally loved the atmosphere.

The view

The Menu

Looks awful....not!!

A local man who caught mussels off the rocks nearby for the restaurant, someone will be eating them shortly, no doubt.

Yes it was bit overcast for a swim today. A real shame as I have been dying to get my feet more than a little wet.

Farewell to our little cove.

& to my mother who thinks we are slack by not walking up & down.... It takes 30mins to walk down to town, we timed it today. 

Our Villa is approximately where the mast meets the top of the ladies head. It is a long way to the main beach from there. 

Another Bevy must be in order.  

Not sure why I'm laughing, I think Gusband was being mean to me...as always.

Lunch was grand, I could do it everyday if asked.

I don’t think I have mentioned the silence, ahhh it is so peaceful in our Villa I could stay sitting on our deck forever. But alas the food as per usual is calling us, we must dine out again this evening. Tomorrow night we will be venturing to a locals hangout for some very special entertainment.

Fear not Campers, we will keep you posted of what unfolds in the final days of our Italian holiday.
