15 days in Positano = Heaven




D'arcy stole my hat and gave me her best "Next top Model" pose for this shot.



The view from our balcony at the hotel in Positano. Just gorgeous!!!!!



Positano is seriously one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.
We were here for just 3 days in 2005 and never wanted to leave.
Is it touristy? Yep. Is is expensive? Yep. Is it crowded most of the time? Yep. But still, there is something magical about it here. Someone described it as Disneyland-like. That was meant to be an insult. I think it's somewhat of a perfect description actually. But for a Disney freak like me, there's no insult here. Disneyland is one of the most lovely, magical places I've been too, and Positano is Disneyland for grown ups, and even for some of us who pretend we're grown up too!
We have 15 days here and have planned, well, pretty much nothing. We're going to go to the beach, plenty of sunscreen this time. We're going to eat a lot of pizza, because, the closer you get to Naples the better the pizza is. We're going to eat a lot of gelato, because, this is Italy, and you'd be mental not to eat a lot of gelato. We're going to relax, wear thongs on our feet, sleep in and go shopping. Yep, that's the plan.

Hi there

I am loving the trip so far - thanks. David I am cheering the Saints on in your absence - last week and then again today - who would have thought you could miss two grand finals! The Royal Melb Show has now finished - thankfully, I have been exhausted so looking forward to a few days off.
I love the view from your room - heaven!
