Ciao Amalfi

Positano · July 3, 2009

Taking the boat to Positano

 

100_9386

 

The easiest and most scenic way to move about on the Amalfi Coast is certainly by boat. You avoid the sometimes crowded public SITA buses, the traffic jams or periodic road blocks, and you get to see the beautiful Amalfi Coast from the sea. Yesterday I hopped on the 11:30am Travelmar boat from Amalfi  and I was in Positano just a few minutes past noon. It was a relaxing and lovely trip, and well worth the €6.00. While there are a variety of boat and jet options (depending on how fast and when you want to go) connecting the Amalfi Coast to Salerno, Sorrento, Capri and Naples, I highly recommend checking into the affordable Travelmar linea intercostiera.

The blogger/ expat meet up was lovely! I met Scintilla from Bell’Avventura, Leanne from From Australia to Italy, and several other expats living on the Amalfi Coast. We had lunch right near the beach at Le Tre Sorelle, where we sat and shared our stories, adventures, and dreams of living in Italy. I look forward to meeting up with these lovely ladies again in the near future!

On the pleasant boat ride back from Positano on the Maria Madre, I thought back to Scintilla’s post about the funny signs on the boat and chuckled. No firearms, check. Turn lights on to flush toilet, check. Don’t throw anything overboard unless a certain number of miles from the shore, check. Too funny! If this post has made you desperate for more Positano, head over to Bell’Avventura where you can find out about three new webcams in Positano.

    Ciao Joe! Thanks for your lovely comment and for introducing yourself. Always happy to meet new readers! 🙂

    Ciao Anne! It was so much fun! I had only met one of the ladies briefly before, so it was really fun to sit and enjoy lunch and get to know one another a bit more. I look forward to doing it again soon!

    Ciao Leanne! It was great to meet you! I look forward to getting that cafè when you pass by my way one of these days. Remind me to send you my mobile number.

    Ciao Lucia! Oh silly me … I was so busy chatting that I forgot to get the camera out and snap a few pictures. I guess we will just have to do it again! 🙂

    this is great information. I will be heading to the Amalfi coast in September and will be sure to "take a boat" Although it looks like the boats may not stop in Praiano which is where I'll be staying. bummer.

    Ciao Food Hunter! September on the Amalfi Coast is beautiful! You are right that there is no boat service in Priano. The city doesn't have a port, so your best bet will be going to Positano by bus and walking down to the port there. But the good news with that is you have plenty of chances to enjoy Positano! 🙂

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning. A little bit delayed due to Winter Storm Olive in the midwest, but I was greeted in central Nebraska by blue skies and flocks of Sandhill cranes and snow geese. “Oh, to love what is lovely” as Mary Oliver wrote about that joyful experience of seeing snow geese golden in a sunny sky. ✨

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
