Gigantic lemons and bad weather in Positano

 
 While the weather was underwhelming, and I was recovering from a cold, Positano was still an amazing get away. We even ended staying longer than expected, purely on the hope of a sunny day. Sadly the weather did not oblige.
 We did get one beautiful afternoon, finally we had a use for the amazing balcony at our hotel. 
On Monday we splashed and splattered our way out to the island of Capri. Regretting my packing choices as we sat on the front of the boat to see the beautiful caves and grotto's around the island.
Up in Anacapri we visited Villa San Michele, former home of Axel Munthe. Mosaics of Pompeii skeletons lined the floor, and a Sphinx over looking the sea to realise his dreams. It was a place full of character that was a joy to witness, even as the wind blew.
