Villa La Pistrice - Positano, Italy (9/30/16)

After staying up past 1:00, we were a little slow on the go.  Went to our little local grocery store for some croissants, but they were SOLD OUT.  Time for a quick back up plan!  We still had 4 huge eggs left over, so with some local bread, we made scrambled eggs with some fresh basil and oregano from the villa's garden (hopefully they won't take the pilfered herbs out of my security deposit).

We find an interesting hike....taking the bus to Monte Pertuso...which is just above Positano.

Monte Pertuso is known for a large hole in the rocks, just above the town.  After a lunch of stuffed zucchini flowers,  we climb to the hole (made by the Virgin Mary to prove her power against the devil - apparently the town of Monte Pertuso is protected by her, while the Positano is in the realm of the devil).

It's a fairly short walk down the hill, back to Positano, where we catch the bus back to the villa.  It's the same bus ride out of town with the u-turn on the mountain road.  All the Positano nubies are fearful that they are on the wrong bus, but old hand Deb assures them that things will be okay.

After a nice dinner with the Dalpé's, we return to the villa for another raucous evening on the veranda...to bed by 12:00...
