Bomerano to Positano🌸

The hike today took the lions share of the day but it was high up along the coast line with gorgeous views every minute. We drove to the small village of Bomerano and for the first time saw a fairly large amount of hikers gathering so clearly a popular hike. I can understand why. The end result takes you right onto the Path of the Gods into Positano - a very beautiful town on the Amalfi coast. I would classify the hike as moderate. Definitely a trail with plenty of rocky parts climbing up and climbing down. We had to get pretty high up the mountain in order to walk around the edge and get to Positano. We saw quite a few farms I guess you would call them but literally tiered into the mountain.

The official sign which I’m told says Welcome to the Path of the Gods.

There is still some utilization of donkeys and mules to transport things between the small villages up in the mountains and sure enough we saw them. Actually we smelled them before we saw them😂

This is where the shepherd lives that takes care of them it appears. Built right into the rocky mountain.

The trail was very close to the edge much of the time. At this spot we could see Capri where we were yesterday. I climbed up on the ledge to get a good view.

Then I looked down. Sheer rock!

Let’s keep going. Positano awaits!

We get our first good view of Positano buts it’s going to take us awhile to get there.

The group continues. We are heading to lunch. First we go down.

Then we go up!

Another defibrillator just in case. So far we all remain good.

We stopped for lunch in a small village at a restaurant called Santa Croce. Wow! A fantastic lunch and this was our view.

Fantastic food. Our first course was the cheeses and grilled veggies. Meatballs and roasted rosemary potatoes second course. A tart they called an Easter tart that had a ricotta and orange peel filling for dessert. I could only eat one meatball and it kind of broke my heart to leave the other one behind.

They brought the whole tart to Louise and told her it was her portion😂 I think Louise is thinking challenge accepted!

So many beautiful flowers everywhere.

We are getting close!

We see you Positano!

Now the stairs down. One of the men in our group attempted to count them but gave up at 1600! Not kidding! Totally worth it🥰

Positano is a beautiful town not as large as Sorrento. In terms of fancy I would say Capri the fanciest, then Positano then Sorrento. All very crowded so fun to see and walk around a bit but better to stay in a less crowded town. But it totally depends on what you enjoy. Sitting in a fancy cafe sipping an aperol spritz and people watching is great too so just do you. We had a bit of time to walk around, get a gelato etc. before meeting up to take our boat to our new hotel in Maiori.

Such a fantastic day. I feel so fortunate to be doing this with my best girl. Our guides are fantastic and the other people in the group so nice and in some cases hysterically funny. (I mean you Louise!😂) And what better way to get around than on a boat!
