Today we start our longest hike with full packs. We started off with a hike up out of Positano climbing 2500 ft less than one hour. The cathedral of Santa Della Maria Castellano sits in the small village at the top of our climb. The church wasn’t very exciting, but the view was nice. By …

Today was our first full day in Positano and we decided to take easy and explore the town a bit. Positano is situated on a ravine in the cliffs, so walking around town is not as easy as it sounds. It is more up and down steps all day. We had a nice breakfast at …
