"Pathway of the Gods" - Walking to Positano






















I felt reluctant to get going this morning, my body was feeling rebelious about the 10 kilometers to Positano. Once we got started and beyond the steps leading out of Vettica Maggiore we were on the high contour paths leading to Positano. It was peaceful and beautiful and by far my favourite day, Maria tells me this is the famous walk in the Amalfi and I can see why, we loved being out, feeling great and walking strongly. As you can see from the photos the views are quite breathtaking.




'Passagiatta' in Italian refers not only to walking but to the pasttime of taking a stroll at sunset and often with a 'gelato' in hand, which is what we have been doing through our travels, so today we strolled along the waterfront here in Positano. We have agreed that 50 kilometers along this coast is a good walk so tomorrow we will try something different. Well done and thank you Fred for helping me over the last year to get walking fit to do what we have just done, you have been a wonderful support and of course 'packhorse' with all our kit. Baci!

We are on our balcony having a beer shandy with the lights of Positano
around us. The Hotel Pallazzo Murat is gentile with beautiful gardens and I am delighted to be were I find myself.
