Positano, Amalfi Coast - August 2008

For the August Bank Holiday we headed to Positano for some much needed sun and beach time! The Summer in England had again been rather miserable, so it was wonderful to arrive on the Amalfi Coast to 30 degree weather and bright blue skies.

Ben and I spent most of our time either lounging on the beach or by the pool on our hotel's rooftop! We ventured out one day for a very strenuous (not!) boat trip along the coast to Amalfi, where a compulsory visit to the Emerald Grotto was included! It was a weekend of true indulgence as we treated ourselves to a dinner at the Michelin starred restaurant high up on the cliff, where the dessert was worthy of a photograph, and also managed to buy two new paintings from one of the many art galleries. Both paintings are by Italian artists.

We'll definitely be heading back there one day!

The view from our hotel room, getting some desperately needed sun & relaxing on the balcony!

The amazing dessert and the end product!
