Walk of Death ~Just kidding!~

8/10/2014

We decided not to head back to Positano to start the Walk of Gods because it would take over an hour of driving to get to the start point of the walk and then the same to get back because of all the tourists and road conditions.  Instead, we drove out of the campground, turned right and right and left.  We found a natural reserve on a little white, single-lane road on the map and ended up following two other cars down the tiny road to get to it, but the two cars in front of us were turned away at the park as no cars were allowed past that point and because we were behind them we managed to get to the only parking spot.  So we punched in the passenger mirror, snuggled Little Blue up against a stone wall and were on our way.  We had no idea where.

It started out as a nice, gentle, flat, leisurely, passive, shady stroll and turned into a steep sloping path of ancient, uneven rocks, pelting with heat from the blazing sun. (which we didn't really notice until the way back up!)  

We made it to Pointa Campanella; a lighthouse and an ancient tower perched high on the edge of gigantic cliffs that drop straight into the sea. The views of Capri, the rocks and the sea were beautiful.

Beautiful shots! But ya know, we're not fooled by tilting the camera to make the climb look steeper. :)
