Heaven does exist: it's called Positano

As our time in this magical place draws to a close, it's time to reflect on our stay here in this beautiful part of the Italian coast.  Firstly this place does provide some challenges and the twisting hair pin bends on the roads and steep landscape can be physically challenging for those with mobility issues.  However what you get in return are breathtaking views over the sea which constantly change and create many 'wow' moments.  Cafes and restaurants cling to the edge and there's nothing better than spending time with a spritz or two just taking it all in. The traffic is like going on an adventure ride each day as coaches,  cars and motor scooters play dodge cars with only millimetres to spare.  In saying this however the drivers here are so much better than ours at home.  They don't hesitate and confidently make moves. ..you have to. ..it's just the way it is here but for those of us from sleepy South Australia it is a real education in panic control! !! And of course the food!! So much has been written about Italian food but words fail to express the sheer joy this cuisine provides.  Street food is everywhere  but not the chain rubbish like the global players such as the golden arches types....here simplicity and freshness are the order of the day. Divine.  I will select a couple of highlights to focus on for separate blogs but today it's off to Amalfi and Ravello for another white knuckle ride along the coast in a local bus.  Ciao for now!
