Italian Vacation...Day Ten...Go Out With A Bang!


Today was our last day In Positano.
We had intended to relax but we did that yesterday so we decided since we had not been on the island of Capri yet that we would take the ferry and go see.
 There were 2 times in the morning to go and 2 times late afternoon to come back...giving you at least 6 hours once you boarded the ferry.

This is our view once we got off the ferry.
 Beautiful but a very busy place.
Once we cleared the ferry area we were bombarded by people everywhere, people hounding you for a boat ride, a cave tour, a taxi ride, come eat here, come eat there, wine here, shop here.
I wanted to 
SCREAM!!
Once we got a way from the crowd and got our thoughts together we hired a taxi to show us around a little. Below a view of Capri.

 Enjoying the view.
We saw the Fragneolli Rocks prior by boat tour earlier in our trip now we see them from this road side view...just beautiful.
 We stopped to do a little shopping...the one good thing here is that I was able to find something for the young boys in my life (grandson's)....there was a bigger variety on this island...maybe cause it is more touristy.
 There were people everywhere....I think that is why I did not enjoy Capri as much as we spent a lot of time in a area that wasn't crowded like this.
 We finished shopping a little sooner than when we were suppose to meet our taxi driver so we stopped for a nice view and a glass of wine.
 It was nice to get away from the crowds for a few minutes.
We decided since we had a couple hours before the ferry would return that we would go down and sit by the water, have wine and lunch and wait to see our ferry arrive.
 We had 2 bottles of wine and had a nice time visiting with each other and our waiters.
Once we returned to Positano we walked on the beach so I could put my feet into The Mediterranean Sea...it was a little cool but felt so good.
 It was an interesting walk on the beach...2 bottles of wine and the beach is a rock beach sinking in the sand below...hard to walk on.
Below a couple relaxing on the beach.
 We decided to end the night over wine and dinner at the place we had spent the most nights at besides our terrace Le Tre Sorrelle...here we met 3 couples from Canada that invited us to join them at there table.
 Which we did...they were so much fun...it was a great night...
Here we had 2 more bottles of wine and treated to Limoncello.
 We laughed...shared stories...
 A great time ...a great way to end our last night.
While our friends left before us...we continued with wine and stayed until dark.
Once we were done with wine
we walked to find something and at this moment I'm not sure what it was we were in search of but for those of you that may of received my drunk texted...
This is the P-kankle night....LOL
Our trek up 187 steps was an interesting one...needless to say...we were leaving in the morning and still needed to packed...that we had to wait to do in the morning....
We needed sleep.

But I will say...it was a great night  and a great way to end our stay in Positano.
I loved this place....I could see myself returning...but instead of 10 nights...I think it will be a summer stay.
