Welcome to Positano!
We picked Positano as the last part of our two week vacation because there’s not much to do here but enjoy the view. It was right before the busy season starts, so not even a lot of businesses were open. We were exhausted, starting to feel a little under the weather, and ready to relax. Well, that’s kinda funny because Positano is basically a city of stairs on a mountain. I knew that.. why didn’t I think of that? We were there for only 2.5 days. 1.5 of those days were raining. I guess we got to relax, right?? And at least we had a beautiful view. The picture above was from our balcony. When the rain stopped, we would go explore & ate A LOT. Oh man, the food was incredible.
This is for my friends Tiffany & Raul.
In between rainstorms, we decided to explore one of the stairwells that was supposed to lead to a beach. Well, I guess it does, but it takes forever to get there. Knowing we had limited time before the rain came back, we decided to forgo our journey and head back up. It’s a lot easier going down than it is up. This was during one of our breaks.
And the cutest little pine cone that ever was.
On our last full day, it was such a beautiful day. We were ready! Bring it stairs! (view, again from our balcony)
My adorable hub attempting to make espresso.
The first night we were here, it was raining, but we had to go somewhere to eat. We walked down a million stairs to the main road, and this was the first place we came to. The food was to die for. And we were greeted with complimentary shots of limoncello at the end. Perfect dinner.
As we were walking up the mountain, ending our trip in the gorgeous Positano, I realized I didn’t take any pictures of the lemon trees. So I whipped out my camera.. also procrastinating the hike up the stairs w/ luggage in hand.
I was so excited to visit Pompeii. I wish we had more time though. We only had about 3.5 hours before our next train out. Of course it’s not enough time to discover an entire ancient city. But what we saw was just so incredible.
The people of Pompeii were building columns when all hell broke loose. They were making faux marble columns, covering the outside of the bricks with stucco.
Mount Vesuvius in the backround. The mountain that provided them with a beautiful view also was their doom. DA DA DUUUMMM
We’ve heard so much about the brothel, so we had to make a B-line straight for it. It was very, very small and consisted of a few rooms with stone beds. Here Bryan is sitting on one.
And definitely not suitable for kids, there were some rather explicit frescos on the wall of some of the sexual positions they offered. 
Casts were made from the preserved bodies. The casts are a mix of actual bones and plaster. Surreal.
I couldn’t have imagined doing this trip with anybody else. I love you, babe!! Can’t wait for our next adventure!
