Positano Day 2

We awoke with breakfast served on our balcony...wonderful however "basta bread!" Enough bread.....where it's delicious, it stays with us all day! We went to the beach/pool, enjoyed sun and met some interesting people (Chicago, Brazil, Rochester & NYC). Then at 2:30 we went on a boat tour out in the sea where we went into the ocean (Mike did a cannon ball into the sea!) and I timidly used the ladder.  Our captains caught four fish (Italians 4, Americans 0)! Slippery little suckers! 

Onwards to walk around the town, shop (Mike bought a very nice shirt from a man who personally made it...he also had a shop on Spring Street in Manhattan!), listened to classical music, went into a beautiful church, checked out someone else's wedding, and went to grab a slice of pizza. We climbed the stairs back up to the hotel (ps; Positano is NOT handicap accessible at all), reached the top and passed out. 

Awoke, got ready, and walked back down those blasted stairs (can we say calve cramps?) to the sea/boat taxi to Le Gavitella (amazing restaurant) where we enjoyed all fresh seafood (all caught earlier today). Our waiter treated us with lemoncello and a beautiful ceramic from the restaurant as a gift. We were on the boat with hilarious Italian women who busted loudly into song and sang vivaciously Volare'! Mike's belly report to follow. The food was well worth it. 

Back on land,we went to Music on The Rocks, which is a dance place/bar within the rocks on the cliffs over looking the sea. Amazing! We met a really nice girl named Florian, moved from France to NYC and now Boston (Back Bay) and then danced, enjoyed cocktails,  gorged with food and delicious music on the rocks cocktail (consisted of vodka, lemon, strawberry juice and Mike had sambuca on the rocks and campari soda). Finally....our night cap? Those god foresaken stairs again!  Back to our room, safe & sound and looking forward to our day trip tomorrow to Ravello and Amalfi. More to come! With love!

Day 2 Belly Report: 

Breakfast was pretty generic, just breads, coffee and juice (coffee is much better in Europe).  

Lunch was really a liquid lunch (bottle of wine pool side with almonds and olives) btw the almonds here are homemade, roasted and soaked in salt water - delish. Then we had a slice of pizza after the boat trip (average at best, I like my version better!).  Dinner was off the charts - the freshest fish ever.  Basically they cart over the catch of the day (see pics) and you pick your victim.  We chose to start with grilled shrimp, tuna carpaccio, and oysters.  All delicious, the tuna was done simply with lemon, olive oil, salt/pepper.  The main was a sea bass finished with capers, lemon butter, olives, oil and herbs - wow it was superb.  I had to treat myself to a ricotta/pear cheesecake slice to complement my espresso perfecto!  Our bellys are happy and tired...  Good night....
