Leigh and Shane arrived after a gruelling 38 hour point to point journey for antipasto and Italian beers…Had some sleep then hit the main beach in Positano, Marina Grande for some serious swimming and sun baking followed by Italian meats, cheeses, olives, salad and fruit for lunch. The brave and fit explored Positano before  an Aperol Aperitivo on our terrace and a taxi trip to the village of Montepertuso high up the mountain behind Positano. We had dinner at Il Ritrovo and joined in with the village’s annual festival honouring the Patron Saint Madonna St maria delle Grazie. It was amazing with fireworks going off all day culminating in a very solemn display where the town lights were turned off and a lighting and fireworks display depicting the battle between the Devil and the Saint prevailed up on the actual mountain side. It was truly an amazing and spectacular cultural experience at midnight with mainly locals in attendance which was just fantastic. Managed to organise a taxi back down the mountain…logistical nightmare!
