Honeymoon in Positano


We just returned from our honeymoon in the positively perfect Positano on the Amalfi Coast of Italy.  We couldn't decide if we wanted to relax or a more adventurous honeymoon so we choose both.  Between our hikes up the mountain to Montepertuso, boat trips to Capri and Amalfi and  swimming near the White Gratto we had long lunches just off the beach, sunbathed in a solarium, which we had to ourselves most of the week, and napped when felt the urge.  We learned about Lemoncello, Cuba Libre, and Amalfi region wine with the help of some of the most attentive and helpful waiters we have have ever met.  We saw perfect sunsets while dining on handmade pasta and talking the night away about our dreams, our future children; their names, who's eyes and hair they would have.  Positano is a seemingly magical place that you can't quite ever really imagine until you have been there, standing at the base of the cliff looking up at this magnificent city.  The honeymoon was perfect for us and a beautiful way to begin our married life together.
