Positano

Going Down the Steps to Positano

The weather has finally caught up with us on the Amalfi Coast. The first day we were in Positano it was sunny and 18c. The next day it was overcast with sunny periods and then it went into heavy rains for the next two days with temperatures hovering around 12c. We even had hail one night. Then it cleared up and was a beautiful sunny day. We had planned to take a boat to the Island of Capri for the day. Unfortunately, someone broke into our car overnight and stole our GPS system that we had stupidly left in the glove compartment. Our insurance required a police report to be able to make a claim for the GPS. Under normal circumstances this would be almost impossible as the police here do not do reports for such “minor” incidences and also do not speak English. Our landlord was very helpful and contacted the police and took us down to the station and convinced them to write up a report. He acted as interpreter and we got the document we required to send off to the insurance company. We also had to try and get the small window that was smashed fixed. We finally found a place that could fix it but they would have to order the part and we would be gone by the time it would get here. I decided to do my own repair job with some cardboard and duct tape and let the lease company sort it out when we return the car in Rome. The day was not totally lost as we spent what was left of it getting our exercise hitting the stairs, shops and beaches of Positano.
