Italian Vacation...Day Four...A Day On the Mediterranean Sea

Today we were going to spend our time at sea...

we rented a boat with a driver and did a private tour along the coast to Capri and back.

We just wanted to do a tour on the boat and stop and do lunch...we would save a visit to Capri for another day

Today was all about the sea.

Positano looks amazing from the water.

I swear you can't take a bad picture of this town.

Our Captain was Alexandor ....Couldn't of gotten a better Captain..he showed us lots of caves and pointed out points of interest...

plus not too bad on the eyes either

 The day was amazing...perfect weather...the sea is so blue and the rock formations are unbelievable.

 The marina at Capri...most tours will let you off in Capri and do lunch or shop...they give you about 2 hours but we wanted to save Capri for another day where we would not feel so rushed.

We would have lunch today at another location.

 The above picture (a far away picture) and the picture below are of a statue of man waving good-bye as you leave the island of Capri

On our way back to Positano we stopped at a small seaside town and had lunch.

The restaurant has a small boat that they come out and get you and take you to the restaurant while the boat anchors in the water.

 We had Alexandor join us for lunch...which was so much fun.

He helped us order local favorites...one of them being Octopus which he really encouraged us to try and to make it easier for us he had them cut it up in small pieces as not to scare us away from trying it. I will say it was actually pretty good. I didn't eat much of it and probably won't order it again but it wasn't bad and glad I tried it.

While at the restaurant it started to rain but it was over and the sun was out by the time we were ready to leave. We drank wine and had limoncello on the house.

 Once we were back on the water we had fun taking pictures and telling stories...we even ran upon a boat that had a captain and a husband and wife on board doing things that maybe they shouldn't of been doing...lol...made for a nice laugh.

And here we are arriving back in Positano..

Leaving the town by water and returning by water is absolutely breath taking.

So far this has been my best day in Positano.

I'm also thinking about another boat tour and with the same Captain (wink wink) but up a different part of the coast to Amalfi.

 Once back on land we decided we would stop and end the evening with wine before hiking up almost 200 stairs to the Villa.

We went to a place along the beach where we had already had lunch before and the waiters remembered us...we drank wine and since we were there for awhile we ordered spaghetti and baby clams and shared...

So that means today I tried 2 new things...octopus and calms...and I was very surprised with the clams....I loved them! I will have to have them again before leaving here.

(Aren't you surprised Fonda?)

So it was time to head back up to the villa...after having 2 bottles of wine and limencello...

it was a very interesting climb....

But a GREAT day!
