To
Positano, by Foot! I decided to join Leon, Dean, Rene, and Nate on a drive to the Amalfi coast. We squeezed tightly into Leon's classic auto machine that reminded me of my 'diehard' Honda civic from home. We started driving up winding roads and I was wondering myself how we were going to survive the drive and also where the Amalfi coast was. We parked the car, ate some food, and Leon directs us to a trail that I thought was just going to be a short hike. That trail turned into a 3 hour journey to Positano overlooking ridges of the Amalfi coast and through beautiful hillsides. After making it to Positano we needed a rest so we went to the city while Leon headed back to get his car. There we saw a great sunset and also one of the most touristy and beautiful oceansides you can imagine. Although it was starting to rain, I managed to get some nice pictures of what I imagine can be the perfect location to spend that summer day. But the Amalfi coast in itself, is quite breathtaking.
