We took the hydrofoil on a sunny but cool day for the hour trip along the coastline, oohing and aahing all the way. The arrival is especially dramatic.
And as suspected there are many stairs to reach those beautiful views... so we climbed several hundred of them for what seemed like forever. I am not sure you ever reach the top of Positano!
But it is true we had an even more spectacular view.
We had a delicious lunch up there, and then didn't know what else to do. So we thought "Why not take the bus back?".
One reason only: there was a rock slide, so the buses could not pass through that day, that's why.
But we could have a driver for a very reasonable price. So we did, and yes indeed at a certain point one lane of the highway was blocked due to a rock slide. We easily drove around it, but in a bus it would have been quite dangerous.
So for us that was Positano. I think we might have missed something. It was beautiful and all, but so is eveywhere there!
Now Capri, well that is another story altogether.
In Capri history is everywhere. The Empereror Tiberius used Capri as his headquarters from 27-37 AD so the castle there is rather impressive. We got our first glimpse of it from a distance.

Enjoyed the view if not the climb |

Enough said! Just go and see it for yourself.
Wow - looks gorgeous - hope they had some good red wine after the climb~!
