Positano

Remember yesterday when I said Italian drivers are crazy??  Well today we really realized this while driving down the amalfi coast.  I will get to this later.

We started our morning off in ortona visiting the battle of ortona museum and Canadian cemetery.  We were lucky that our host showed us into town where the museum was, or we wouldn't have found it.  We found Mike's family's signatures in the guestbook there too as his nana, aunt and uncle were here a couple weeks ago. We were on the road again before lunch on our way to the other coast of Italy.

 Our gps again decided to take us on a very interesting tour of Italy.  We were appalled by all the garbage on the streets.  It literally looked as if a garbage truck flipped over on the streets.  Matresses, tires, bags of garbage thrown, and even watched people throw it out the car in front of us.  We eventually got out of that area and on the crazy windy road up to positano.  Most cars here are scratched and dented as there are so many tight corners, cars parked anywhere and everywhere. It's basically the width of one lane, but here its a two lane road, with parked cars, scooters, and pedestrians.  After getting lost, we finally found a place to stop where I could run out and get directions and then we were on our way.

We were greeted by our host who loaded our luggage onto a cable car and had our things lifted up to the bed and breakfast.  It was about a five minute walk from the road to the place, but once we got here and looked out the window, we were able to forget all about the crazy drive! It is absolutely stunning. We are high above the sea and can see the little islands and this crazy town built into a hill. We enjoyed some freshmade lemincello and relaxed in the terrace for a bit before dinner.  Dinner was good,  it we wanted to go into town and explore, but we were picked up by the restaurant driver(there is no parking anywhere) and then they drive us back after.  We weren't about to hop in and head down.  I am not being dramatic about thus either... It's sketchy!!!

Now just trying to figure out where to go after here!  Plans they keep on changing!
