Part IV: Positano also known otherwise as heaven on earth

{heading towards Capri for the day}

Positano was nothing short of spectacular.  We felt a bit like we were in a fairy tale there.  In fact, I've said to my husband a few times since arriving home, "Did it all really happen?"  We were in Rome (that's for tomorrow!) shortly, than left for Positano.  Getting to Positano feels a bit like the movie title Planes, Trains, and Automobiles... we took a train from Rome to Naples, a subway from Naples to Sorrento, and a bus from Sorrento to Positano.  It was about ten o'clock at night when we were trudging down their main street, Via Cristoforo Colombo, past restaurant-goers with our huge backpacks on.  But, alas, we had arrived at Albergo California (which we just discovered is in the movie Under the Tuscan Sun!).  We unpacked quickly, showered, and headed out for my favorite gelato of the whole trip: peach (which, in Italian is pesca; I was suspicious of fish-flavored gelato).  Then we spent three amazing days loving life and... the coast of Italy.  We took a boat ride to Capri, checked out all the amazing boats in their marina, ate, had too-expensive gelato at J.K. Place Capri (but appreciated their fiiiine interior decorating) and walked around.  Back to Positano, ate, swam, got stung by jellyfish (just me... whatever jellyfish, whatever!), ate, walked, slept, ate, walk, swam.  You get the picture.  It was ridonkulous.
