Adventure Number 3

I would not call this one adventure but more just entire days filled with excitement. Everything about Positano is simply perfect and I absolutely love every little detail. It is built on a very steep hill so the walk to the beach is stairs all the way which was a serious struggle coming back. Mary and I went down in the morning after having a delicious breakfast at our hostel and had to stop every five minutes to look out over the water or look at the houses. We finally got there and rented a chair then went for a quick dip in the Mediterranean. We lay out in the sun for a while and saw a lady going around giving people 30 minute massages for only 20 euros so we of course had to get that. This evening we rented a boat with some people that we met at the hostel and went on a boat ride and brought drinks and drove away from Positano for a couple minutes and found an adorable cove where we took a ton of selfies and swam for a glorious hour. It is incredible how after knowing someone for only a couple hours we can decide to go on a fantastic adventure together. The journey to get to Positano was a little more difficult. We took a train from Milan to Naples and that is where it got interesting. The train that took us from Naples to Sorrento was the most dangerous train for pickpockets. We got on the train and prepared ourselves for the hour train ride on a non air conditioned metal car. We were 30 minutes in and some guys asked us if we were going to Sorrento and we were creeped out and didn’t answer but then they said that the train that we were on was not going to Sorrento. So there we were. In a foreign, scary city with no idea where we were. They told us to get on the train going the other direction then get on another train and I looked it up and figured out where we had to go. We waited for the other train for an hour and 2 hours later we were in Positano and checking into our very first hostel. Little did we know the amazing adventure that awaited us the next day.
