Positano, Italy Pictures

We were in need of a vacation from our vacation after Rome. Our legs were exhausted and we had visited more than enough museums for now. After taking a series of trains and buses we finally arrived at Positano in the Amalfi Coast which is a stretch of breathtaking coastline in Southern Italy. Neither Kristen nor I had ever visited the Amalfi Coast. The Amalfi Coast is where I had planned on proposing to Kristen but couldn't hold out beyond Paris.

We lucked out again with an amazing B&B with a fabulous view of the ocean. We were high up on the cliffs and strolled through winding hills and series of endless stairs during our walks. Our friends Greg and Bridget stayed in Ravello and Capri during their honeymoon two weeks before us and gave us some great suggestions of places to visit. Kristen’s parents had also visited Positano the week before so we were well equipped with amazing suggestions for food.

Positano reminded me of the Wasatch Front of Salt Lake City, my hometown. Whereas Salt Lake City is surrounded by majestic mountains which provide “The Greatest Snow on Earth”, Positano is perched upon the mountains and overlooks the ocean. For the Utahans reading this blog, imagine Big Cottonwood Canyon at the eadge of the ocean instead of the Wasatch Front. A truly spectacular view. I could have remained in Positano indefinitely and will be visiting again.
