Day 62 - Yeah, honk your horn, that'll work

Our final day on the Amalfi Coast and we set off on the winding coastal road for Positano. As we approached Positano the road was lined with parked cars for a few kilometers, giving us the impression that parking would be a nightmare. We turned off and started driving down into the town and saw a large carpark on the right hand side which we happily entered, at this stage the gps said we were about a 15 minute walk from the town - then of course on the way down we passed many other car parks.

We could see the small grey beach at the bottom as we wound our way past the endless tourist shops and the accompanying tourists. The beach itself wasn't too bad but still a little underwhelming, the charm of Positano is the views which you need to be up high to appreciate. 

After lunch by the beach we walked back up the hill to the car passing many lovely lunch spots on the cliffs edge with great views, in hindsight it would have been better to have taken advantage of one of those rather than lunch down on the beach, next time we will know.

The drive back kept us on our toes as impatient Italian drivers blasted their horns at poor tourist drivers (no, not us) that they considered too slow and were holding them up, pretty immature behaviour if you ask us, as if honking a horn is ever going to make a slow driver into a confident or a better driver.

It was still a 2 1/2 hour drive back to Rome from Positano, we were staying in a cheap place near the airport so we could easily get to our early flight to Malta the next day.
