After a morning relaxing on the terrace (one of our favorite spots)
we cleaned up and headed out to see a little of Positano.
Below are just some of the steps we had to take to go town to beach level.
There are lots of steps in this town...after all it is built on cliffs.
It was a nice little hike but not so bad but we knew coming back up would really be the fun part.
Once we made it down we headed to the other side of the beach to take a look at a place called
Music On The Rocks.
It's a night club built in the rocks...a place we plan to visit before leaving.
And here is a shot across the beach of where we are staying...it's just beautiful.

And this is the porter that takes your luggage and delivers to where you are staying or taking it back to the street where you depart. If you are in a certain area from the beach they will take your luggage down to the beach and then hike it up the stairs to your destination...easier for them than going down especially for some of the stair that are very steep.
All I can say is lots of work and hopefully they are being tipped well.
After walking around a little bit we decided to have a little lunch and of course wine.
When we had entered this place there wasn't anyone there...once leaving it was very crowded.
We had a nice lunch, people watching (and waiter watching).
We headed out to where the boats were and found us a private boat tour that will take us out tomorrow to see Amalfi from the water and some of Capri and Grotto's and such you can only see from the water. We will also stop along the way and have lunch sea side.
It will be a long day (6 hours) but I'm sure it will be beautiful.
Can't wait to float around on the Mediterranean Sea.
Another vantage point of Positano....that's me below with the beautiful city behind me.
We found a quite area a little further up with a gorgeous breeze off the water, which was nice as we were so hot...there we ran into a young girl who had been studying abroad for one semester...she is done and her sister and aunt came to meet her in Rome and they were doing a little bit of traveling before heading back to Kansas
We found this covered walkway I had seen on facebook...it was beautiful and a nice stroll with some vendors....here we bought local artist paintings.
And while we were under the walkway we spotted or Villa...our floor is the middle level...the 3 windows across that all have brown wood shutters...simply beautiful.
We walked a little more and then it was time to head back to the Villa...we were getting a little tired and hot...we stopped at this grocery story that also made sandwiches and picked up some water and sandwiches for dinner....grocery stores are different here in this small town...but was a cute little store.
And this is why we needed the water...time to head back up the stairs to our Villa...I counted the steps along the way...to reach our Villa gate it was 182 steps...it was a rough climb but we did it....not something we plan on doing multiple times a day...Once and that's it.
To reach the door of The Villa you would add another 20-something steps.
Once back at The Villa we caught our breath...changed to get comfy and went out on the terrace and enjoyed the rest of the day into the evening...We talked, we took pictures, we laughed and we drank Rum and Crown and just enjoyed our time.
There was a wonderful breeze on the terrace ....as the evening progressed it actually got really chilly...but oh so beautiful.
Will post tomorrow (or maybe tonight) about our day out to sea...until then...
Chow!
