From Lucca to Positano bags in hand

Lucy -We are now in Positano. But before we said Farewell to Lucca Andrew had a sudden rush of blood & went on a mad shopping spree. I knew he had it in him…somewhere!

Don't try to conceal the evidence, you're busted

the angels can't save you now!!

FareTheWell Lucca

We caught a train to Naples, then were shuttled by our driver 

(who nearly broke his back lifting our bags)

all the way to Positano...

The view from reception

Just out of the shuttle

How awful! I can't imagine staying here for a long time...NOT

WELCOME TO VILLA INNES.

Andrew is the keeper of the gate/door, just let me in already!

the living area

Kitchen

My room, I even have a little private staircase

Next on the agenda was toilet paper & supplies, yes campers not 1 square of toilet paper was in the room, you'd hate to be in a hurry!  

So being the fairies that we are it was decided Gin (stat) followed by loo paper, Pronto!

Next, I think a swim is in order!

you can tell by the look on Gusbands face, he is not quite so keen

could be a little stoney!

What the hay, I might dip my toe in...

Anywho, all is well in Positano so far. Off to lunch... I think I will.

Andrew - Our last day in lucca. Rest day and packing with possibly a bit of eating and drinking thrown in.

Turns out there WAS eating, drinking and resting but shock horror turns out there was also to be a spot of shopping. For me shopping is unheard of but yes campers I am a sheep not a shepherd and ended up with mountains of bags myself.

We miss you Sawusband

Speaks for itself

Eye douche from the fancy farmecia in Florence

Resting

Still resting

Ahhh Positano

Headed to Positano on yet another 2 trains (still running amazingly on time!) to be greeted by our transfer. Poor bastard having to lift our 5 bags which somehow have been getting weightier and weightier by the day.

Our villa is spectacular with the most amazing views. Lots and lots of stairs! We shall have calves like Arnold soon (cheating bastard!)

Having walked to Positano from our villa we were all thinking how there was ABSOLUTELY NO WAY we were walking back up the hill. Some cosmos and g&ts by the water a quick question as to the availability of taxis and we were all set.

Having awoken to some sad news from home we shall be heading to town to toast our friends who are experiencing a difficult time right now. Thinking of you, you know who you are. Xx

Today we shall be doing a walking tour with a friend of a friend and then possibly a barbeque weather permitting.

Yours with sore legs campers. xx
