This morning we did a Sendero dei Limoni- the Lemon Walk. It runs from Minori to Maiori, two neighboring towns, and takes about one hour to complete. For us, it was close to two hours.
Stairs. So many stairs. It makes sense because you are going up and down the side of a mountain. It’s not all stairs, there are some flat sections, too so that allows your legs to rest for a bit.
The views are beautiful! The higher you go, the more you can see. You see the turquoise water, boats of different sizes, fruit orchards, people’s houses, and churches. All that works together in harmony.
Along the path lemon farms are selling all things lemons: marmalade, “granita”(slushies), lemonade, and, of course, lemons. The lemons are HUGE in size. Twice as big as the ones we buy at the supermarket in New Jersey.
Along the path, you see hanging grapes, figs and lemons. We also met about seven cats! The kids were in love.
Once we emerged in Maiori, we went to a pastry shop to recharge with some juices for the kids, coffee for T and I, and treats – for everybody.
Essentially, you then walk back to Minori the way you came but the kids were worn out. So instead, we took a boat back, and it was the right decision.
After coming back to the apartment, we relaxed for a few hours, then decided to hit the beach. R went into water up to his neck! I’m mentioning this because R is not a water person (like me) so this shows that he is growing.
Dinner was at a restaurant across from our apartment. The food was average. R was so tired, he ended up falling asleep at the table! We had a rather busy day and he wouldn’t nap. The end result: Mr. Cranky Pants.
T had to carry R all the 124 stairs while L and I went out for gelato.
