Positano: Day 4

Our last day in Positano-so sad! To end our trip to Italy with a bang, we rented a 37-foot boat for the entire day and sailed to Capri. On the way there we enjoyed swimming in the clear, blue ocean, drinking a few cocktails, eating a picnic, and exploring the Blue Grotto! 

Amazing submarine-looking yacht. According to our driver for the day, the owner spent over 100 million euros decking this boat out.

So many caves. We were allowed to swim in most of the ones we saw, but not this one. Looking back it does look a bit dangerous.

Tight squeeze! 

Hey there! 

Yachts on yachts on yachts 

Best meal I have had so far!! 

The freshest/tastiest mozzarella ever. According to our driver all the best mozzarella comes from Capri.

Outside of the Blue Grotto! There was quite a line, but getting a peek inside the cave was worth the wait.

Clever.

Before going into the Blue Grotto we all had to squeeze into a tiny boat and find a way to lay down. Seems impossible, but we made it work. 

 So many people in line to get a glimpse inside! 

If you were wondering why we all needed to lay down-this is why. The Blue Grotto is basically a cave where the water is ever prettier inside than it is outside. Soo in order to get into the cave, we had to fit ourselves through the tunnel first. 

So blue!

Our last dinner in Positano at Le Sirenuse! 

Our last dinner in Positano! 

We love our Mojitos! 

My Raspberry Mojito. Yumm 

A delicious pizza roll appetizer

A fancy appetizer (not totally sure what it is, but it was also delish!) 

 A delicious ravioli dish! And the truffles on top made my dinner that much better.

And of course some lemonchello with dessert 

Bottoms up!

I could stay in Positano forever. Although I'm sad to leave, I am so excited to get to our final destination-London! Cheers!

Positano: Day 3

I don't think I have ever eaten more in one sitting compared to my time at Mama Agata's cooking class. Let's see..two pieces of lemon cake, countless pieces of bread & fritters, eggplant parm, two types of pasta, sausage, and to top it off-lemonchello! 

We got an adorable little packet with all the recipes we learned from the class

Everything is bigger in Italy. 

I know its usually "Everything is bigger in Texas", but I think they have been beat. Seriously-these lemons are bigger than my head. Also I have never seen bigger portions than the ones they serve here.

Got our aprons on!

Unbeatable view

I have about 100 more pictures just of these views. Amazing. 

Mama Agata in the kitchen

Eggplant Parmesan 

We got a little taste before it was completely done

 Eggplant parmesan is not my favorite, but Mama Agata made it with more cheese than eggplant so I was happy.

We got a break after our first course, so we took the time to drink some more wine and walk around the vineyard

So tart! 

Basil-My favorite!

The gorgeous courtyard next to our dining area

Julia and Mom tried out the dart board

Fritters!!!

Hell sauce. I am finding a way to buy this. She didn't tell us what is in it, but I'm thinking it is a combo of crushed red pepper, olive oil, and hot sauce. SO GOOD! 

Pasta Dish #1

 Pasta Dish #2

 Lemonchello! Now this stuff I will never buy. It is super strong liquor with a very bitter lemon taste.

Group shot! We had a great group.

I slept the entire ride from Rivello back to Positano. Serious food coma. I have to say though that Mama Agata's cooking class has been my favorite experience so far in Italy. Maybe I am biased because I am a big food lover, but either way I would definitely recommend paying Mama Agata a visit!
