Bella Scipione

Oct 05 2022

Positano is like nothing I have ever seen before. The cliff side village is located on southern Italy’s Amalfi Coast and is lined with narrow streets, boutiques, and restaurants. Our hostel has an incredible view of the coast and is a steep walk from the pebbled beaches. Jesse met up with three of his mates from Australia and G and I have been enjoying their chaotic company.

On our first night, G and I had a sister dinner at a restaurant called Cafe Positano. Our meal literally brought us to tears. We had a cute little table outside and watched the sun set over the Amalfi Coast. The food was more pricey than we were used to, but it was worth every penny. We shared bruschetta, G had a fettuccini bolognese, and I had the potato fried sea bass. For dessert, we indulged in a chocolate soufflé with vanilla gelato. The dinner was a needed (and deserved) break from our Aussies.

We met up with the boys for some drinks at our hostel bar and headed down to the village’s iconic night scene, Music on the Rocks. The disco club is located in a cave that is carved into a waterfront cliff. The DJ did a killer job at keeping the crowd alive. I met a sweet man from Mexico City named, Alex. Alex invited me to his bottle service table and we had the time of our lives drinking rosé and dancing.

Yesterday, we spent the day on the beach in Capri and boated around the coast. Almost all of our phones were dead after not charging them the night before. While it was a slight inconvenience not having google maps, it made us all enjoy each other without distractions from the outside world.

Capri is absolutely beautiful and I’m so glad we were able to spend some time there. Our boat ride was out of a dream. I swear I pinched myself a few times, trying to grasp the most unforgettable experience. The weather was perfect and the water was completely clear and blue. It was a once in a lifetime ride and a day I will remember for the rest of my life.

Our boat docked at a port near Sorrento, so we went for drinks and dinner there. I really love Sorrento and wish we had more time to explore it’s town. We attempted to go back out to Music on the Rocks after cabbing back to Positano, but the universe called for a night in. Cab fare’s are out of control here and we ended the night in an argument with our driver over being ripped off. However, I think it was best we all went to sleep after a long and eventful day. We have decided to spend some more time in Positano and are currently enjoying ourselves on the beach. I am taking in every moment. This is our calm before another night on the rocks.
