Our Hotel – We stayed at a lovely boutique hotel in Kensington, near Hyde Park, called The Caesar. We stayed in a Deluxe room, which was nice because it had a separate sitting area. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. There were no drawers, but there was some shelving on the bed […]

Time To Go Home ~ Positano, Amalfi Coast Italy
Time To Go Home This morning we go home…. Pictures or people’s description of Positano does not do it justice. This has been the most peaceful place we’ve ever been. Beyond the natural beauty, the unique architecture that has been maintained with such pride, there is no urgency here. Everyone seems to be of […]

It was a slow morning, taking our time to get ready and planning our introduction to Positano. After some crafty eavesdropping during dinner last night, […]
