Road Trip

On the last day in Capri, our cousins arrived from Egypt! We had lunch and a swim in the pool with them before heading back to Naples with them. The next day we hired a nine seated  mini van and drove to Positano, a small town on the Amalfi Coast.

After doing a lot of walking up and down stairs we found the beach. There was a fenced out area full of brightly colored deck chairs and umbrellas just for the locals (the area was empty) and hard rocks to sit on for the tourists.

 After a long swim and a gelato, we walked up the thousand staircases to the car and drive to the town of Amalfi. We had collected bright colored see through gems at the beach and we got some more at Amalfi. We had calamari and chips for dinner.

The next day the plan was to see the old Naples which we found out was just the poor part of the city. Jason went home to do work while our cousins, Aunty, Uncle and Kate drove to Sorrento. We walked around for a bit after having to drive around for a long time waiting for a park then we had a delicious dinner than gelato for dessert.

    1. There was no sand at the beach only rocks. We found between 40 and 50 gems.
