We boarded, too. I will certainly miss that comfy "windshield" seat. Wind in our hair, ocean spray in our face, fantastic views. The boat looks way small here, but I'm telling you this was the biggest luxury yacht we have been on (or probably will ever be on). I was 41 feet long, including diving platform. With 16 people aboard, there was still plenty of room to wander and relax.
Although we were stuffed, Luciano offered one last fruit and prosecco treat. Even stuffed, I could never turn down prosecco.
We enjoyed the scenery on the high seas. Lots of private and public sun bathing places.
And lots of fabulous structures--old and new. This first one had a 10-story elevator down to the beach. Pretty decadent.
We'd even take one of theses.
So you remember a few blog entries ago, I said a goal we had was to watch for Giada deLaurentiis house. This was our last chance. So we studied the yellow houses all along the way. And there were many.
We almost missed it, but at the last possible moment we spotted it...on the southern fringes of Positano. Yahoooooie! Here's our photo (minus the watch tower) and then the shot from TV.
We discovered later that this is not Giada's personal home, but Torre Sponda (tower by the shore), a fabulous rental apartment complex. No problem, another travel goal met.
This was our last view from the high seas. Giada's place was to the right. Our hotel was up the hill about half way and around the corner from the sunny cliff, so unseen. The reddish area at bottom is all the beach umbrellas. The domed steeple to the right is the Church of Santa Maria Assunta.
Bye-bye and much thanks to Luciano.
