Easy morning, as we had breakfast a little later today, again views.
Wandered down the stairs to the warf to try to get to Da Afaldo beach club, not an easy feat! The hotel wouldn’t ring to make a reservation for us as quote “they never answer the phone”. So my Fomo massively kicked in, we waited down on the pier for the little boat with the red fish, it came guy yells out you have reservation? Maybe ten people out of about thirty get on and he quickly takes off, we enquire to get a private boat, they say it’s impossible to get in, so ok maybe we will go to another beach club, then comes a no name Da Adolfo boat, again guy says reservations? This time got lucky as two girls (attractive) argue “how can you get a reservation if you don’t answer the phone?” He says well it’s full so i must! He then tells her if you come maybe you get a table at 2pm, so on the back of the two girls, we jumped on the boat. We got there, scored a reservation at 2pm! Peter paid the beach club next door for day beds front row to a day of hilarious people watching! As people come and go off the little ramp, waves crashing. One big Italian family arrived dressed up, one old guy in a suit to a beach club, the guy next door says to me, “must remember next time to wear my suit to the beach club!”
Peter walked over to see if our table was ready, the guy tells Peter hurry get your wife, like a flash we score next to the most interesting couple ever, Lyn and Greg. These two have been coming to Positano for the past twenty years for six weeks at a time, they where from Kirra. These two had the best stories, knew everyone at this beach club, ordered for us as of course they knew what to order even our drinks, wine with peaches delicious 😋. At the beach club the menu is on a blackboard and mostly fresh seafood of the day. We sat with them for hours as so much to entertain us with, peppie our waiter, Sergio the owner, the artist – penis sculptor and sleazy spunky Italian we where introduced to, stories of parties, affairs (spunky guy owns beach club next doors wife ran off with Richard Gere) and recommendations of other restaurants. Could of spent way longer Lyn and Greg coolest couple going, and mega smart. Back to our day beds for more fun people watching and a swim.
Left on the cute little Da Afoldo boat and got sprung taking sneaky pic of spunky Italian boat boy, he had a laugh at the old grab a granny! Back to Positano and a quick drink at the bottom at bar da buco and climb up the stairs to the hotel, should be getting fit by now.
Our new friends Bea and Simon invited us over to their Villa for drinks (yep where alcoholic’s by now -home to detox) OMG, their Villa is a classic old beautiful villa, garden overlooking the Positano shore line, and famous for The Rolling Stones had stayed there. We had a great late fun night, met Bea and Simons son Peter, girlfriend Rosie-gorgeous, Pam and Graeme Peake, who are Australians from Mt Eliza living in India, more stories! More wine, limoncello stagger home late again, but lots of fun!
