Hello Everywhere !
Ciao Carlo
Buon pomeriggio Carlo e Nicki! xxx
Kia ora Carlo! Thank you so much for the walk, Nicki. I found it so interesting and, as our chances of ever getting there are very slim, I appreciated being able to experience it vicariously.
Ciao Carlo! I hope you're doing well xox
Hello everywhere! lol
......watching from Toronto. Today it is 19'C and sunny! Positano weather. (not normally like this)
How I would thrive on going to the cemetery!
Many focus on keeping the memorial tombs very beautiful.Quite organized, with garden gloves, trowel, potting soil,watering bucket flower plants, a wonderful attitude.....
Positano Diaries my favourite vlog on UA-cam, thank you Nicki👏🏼! Wonderful tour Alessandro and no doubt you'll agree that the After Eight chocolate are yummy any time of day. I loved hearing the church music and singing in the background - it reminded me so much of various regions in Italy. Whoa, those steps are even more steep than your steps Nicki and Carlo! I truly appreciate your video/vlog and it's a LOVELY break from all the chaos of the election, the global pandemic, crashed economy, racial pain and city violence that is bombarding the news. Watching your video's I just sit back and take a long breath of fresh air... truly Bea-YOU-tiful ❣️xxxooo much love to all of you
Lovely vicarious hike while I’m lying in bed with a cup of tea and the cat!
I thoroughly enjoy everything you film. And Holly is such a sweetie!
Thank you for that escape. As an American I am so grateful for your beautiful distractions during theses crazy times. Love your channel!
Under those arches in Atrani is just the best pizzeria , La Palme. The thing I loved is that people walk through it to get to the bus stop on the road above.
The locals have reclaimed their land! Such a privilege to see all the corners and niches of the towns-thank you.
How much history on those walls!!! I loved every second of it! Thanks for the tour!!!
Enjoyed the video, Ravello is a piece of haven on earth, it is so beautiful. Thanks for taking us along with you to visit these beautiful places.😊
Carlo Rispoli Hi Carlo 😊 Lol. Your green trainers rock, Nicki. Beautiful views and interesting facts. Love Escher. Thanks for sharing your journey. Lovely family 🎠🙂🇬🇧🦋
The walk was lovely off the beaten path and through a maze of small alleyways similar to Tunis.❤️
Lovely video ..thank you..
Myrtle....Queen Victoria had a sprig of Myrtle in her wedding bouquet..from a tree planted at Osborn House, Isle of Wight UK 🇬🇧 ( her holiday home) ..since then every royal bride has a sprig from that tree in her bouquet. Osborn House is built in an Italian style so is this why they planted Myrtle there I wonder ?
I think I knew that!
Oh Nicki, this was FABULOUS!! We’ve been to Amalfi/Ravello/Positano/Praiano but never realized there were STEPS & PATHS for people to walk on & travel from one village to the next!! How charming!! The history is just completely fascinating. Thank you immensely for sharing this😘😘😘. How long did the descent take?
Nicki,so enjoy these history tours. Imagine the work and effort to build all those ancient steps centuries ago. Love Zia Lucy's use if the spectacle chain for her face mask😷 and of course Alessandro is so knowledgable. I would truly enjoy being part of any of their tours and thanks to you its on my to do list for sure. Just love it all. 🧳
Thank you Irene! :)
It is totally acceptable to eat After Eight mints any time of day... usually after Christmas dinner but far too tasty to have only once a year . Wow! a two tiered church...Nicki can you take us in there one day please? I love all the little nooks and crannies and walk ways, with occasional 'praying places' with lighted candles...Alessandro greeting his sister and maybe niece of nephew was so sweet...This was beautiful and truly off the beaten track... hope Carlos and Holly had a good day too.. thanks for sharing xx
I know of some other mirror churches too!
Thank you Ruth! It was my nephew Daniele and when I greet him I'm all the time like that, because I just love him so much!
Inspiring me to read about the history of the Amalfi Coast, I am a history buff at heart. Love the ancient towns through out the hike. Thx, Nicki & friends! Well
done as always.❣️
Is there anything more beautiful than the views from Ravello? So refreshing.
That was absolutely the best Nicki, i so enjoyed every minute of your walk. Alessandro and Zia Lucy and friend are delightful and hearing about the history of the Amalfi Coast is fascinating. You are one of the joys of my life Nicki in Melbourne Australia. Ann
I loved the scenery and learning about the history of the areas. You are so
lucky to wonderful friends who are so knowledgeable about the area, will
have to keep these guides in mind for our next visit to Italy.
Too bad Carlo had to work, hopefully he was not too tired.
Thank you again Nikki for a great video 👻🎃
A great virtual tour. Thx (Grazie) for taking us along Nicki and Carlo for being supportive in sharing your life and these videos w/the world esp now. After 8s were a childhood treat and I’m all for 2nd breakfasts 😉. I’d love to learn some basic Italian words so please speak more of it. Such a beautiful language. Best to all.
It might be an old video on your channel, but since in spring 2022 we are planning to visit Amalfi coast again, I'm more than happy to find your channel and series about life in the fabulous coast of Amalfi.
When we visited first time, we didn't even realize that there are hidden gems like your friend took you to and other smaller paths, rather than walking on the street where cars drive. Thanks Nicki !😊😊😊
I realise now that I missed out so much history not having a tour guide on my last trip to Italy.
Nice place niki..and your friend knows a great deal about the area.
You must be so fit walking all thoses steps .
Perfect, when you combine the history and cultural details with the breathtaking landscape we can escape the stress of the pandemic for a short while, but it renews my hope that soon I will be able to return to Italy 🇮🇹 😊
As you get older (late 50's and on) steep stairs are no problem going up, but going down is entirely a different propersition. That's when walking poles and hand rails are gold although not many hand rails on mountain hikes.
Gain really beautiful scenery and history right in your front and back yard. Truly lucky.
I always wondered about the waking poles.. basically walking sticks hiker style then..
@@NickiPositano Yes, the collapsible ski pole style. they are invaluable taking a lot of stress off knees and quads. They also help in reducing the risk of rollong your ankles.
So beautiful!! I feel like I was watching a movie 🎥!! The trees 🌳 the views the ocean 🌊 and great company 🙂 this town’s are so magical 🌟 and Thanks for this video 🤗🌻 have a great day 🌟
Nice to have this hike and cultural tour by all of you to help us in the US to escape from all this election stuff on TV. Still waiting to see who will be our next president. Take care now, hope Italy will escape this current wave of COVID without too much serious illness and death. Have a lovely rest of the week. Ciao
I thought I was the only one that left the house and forgot my keys, many times. Lovely tour Nikki. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for walking us to this centuries_old hike..,.I could feel the old-ness of the rocks and mountains and love the shot of the white dinghy and swimming man in the green sea 🎈
Thank you for taking us with you. Your vlogs are one of the ways I'm staying sane in this crazy time. Lots of love to you and your family and hoping you stay safe and well xox
Enjoyed the walk and beautiful scenery and I enjoyed hearing about the history and nice to see where Gore Vidal once lived-take care🙂
Thank you so very much for the history and the views of your beautiful Eden!!!
Beautifully done. perfect integration of music without taking away from the visuals!
yes! Once again, you walked where I walked. I just find it so fascinating how those alleys and steps were built so long ago!!!
I love when you share your walks and it's great to learn more about the history too. It's just a relaxing experiencing and always a pleasure to watch!
I’m so enjoying these littles towns with all their special nooks and crannies, thanks to you ! More please!!
Thank you for taking us walking around your beautiful area love it. Hi from Queensland Australia 💕
Thanks for that tour, so nice to be back...especially now just being stuck in Poland with that crazy plandemia. I loved my two weeks stay in Amalfi Coast this September. I love Italy with all my heart
Oh my gosh I love these videos - filled so much information and history 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Another brilliant video of history lessons and beautiful scenery. It’s like being there and on holiday when watching.
Loved seeing this beautiful walk x
Beautiful scenery and autumn colours and lovely to hear some of the history of Ravello .....such a beautiful village!
Really enjoyed the history with Carlos and again thank you Nicki for this beautiful video.
So enjoyable, thank you Nicki!
Love that you know of Gore Vidal, there are not too many American's worth their salt but he was one. Thank goodness he was a writer and has left us his wonderful legacy. Never read one of is his works that I didn't love. Thank you for that tidbit, these are some of the things I love about your work.
Thanks for the tour. Love living vicariously via your videos...armchair traveling from Yarra Valley Australia. 🥂
I love these tours Nicki! It's almost as good as getting away for a bit.
How interesting, thank you for the tour. Much appreciated.
Really enjoyed this video everywhere you film is beautiful wish I was there thank u for sharing

Another gem. Lovely walk with your friends.
Life goes on even in partial lockdown.
Hugs to Holly, Skye and Carlo. La vita bella.
I adore the Sheepies 😊🐑🐑🐑
Fascinating! How lovely you have such a good friend in Alessandro and he knows so much history of the place - wow that “corner” area was amazing!! ♥️
A really satisfying trip....the winter touch was giving a nice feel to the whole place.There were so many beautiful spots and cute things that it was a great feast for my eyes.....the doorway covered with red leaves🍁🍂was just a picture perfect spot.....that White House with blue door perched up on the hill was so perfect😍......and not to forget the After Eight.....an all time favorites...🤎🤎🤎
amazing Video Nicki, and even more amazing Tour Guides, Love them Both
beautiful !!! So peaceful. The views were magical. Thanks Niki another splendid job :) Hope all is well. Hello everywhere right back to Carlo
Love you guys! Love the channel, thank you for everything
Thank you so much for taking the time to log such beautiful adventures and share with the world. It means so much now that we can't travel and experience these treasures ourselves. Grazie!!
I just loved that tour with you & your lovely friends, Thanku Nicki once again for sharing The Gorgeous Amalfi with us. I smile from start to finish. Sending love from Australia 🇦🇺 xx 💕
Watching from San Diego, Calif! Vicariously living thru your videos, Thank you!
The architecture is amazing and the history ❤ thanks
I wish I were 30 years younger. At 70 I don’t think I could go all the hiking you and your friends do so I am so glad you film it all for me
Nicki, This is fantastic❤️i miss soo much this place🤩Best wishes from Canada
This was wonderful!
A wonderful walk I needed it
Thank you for the wonderful tour and share the history of that town
I was lucky enough to stay in Atrani a few years ago. A beautiful little town. I loved it. Thankyou for visiting it... great memories
This was a fantastic vlog - thanks Nicki
Thank you Nicky for this video it feels like I’m traveling to those places 😍
Nicki, Carlo ; I "LOVE" this! Thank You, Glasyas, You brighten my Day. (not a good day) Grazie!
I’ve been watching you for two years and missed this one, in a word Stunning! It was so precious! I’ve visited but am unable to climb anymore. You have shared such beauty that I would have never experienced. With tearful eyes, thank you❤️
What a lovely hike! It was a great escape! 💛
Just did this hike. Thanks Nicki for the video Lucia who recommended it to us this week.
What a great walk, thats amazing a scottish botanist who bought and renovated Villa Rufolo and gardens, fabulous. 🏴 xxx
✝️ love all the shrines, hymns and church bell sounds 💖❤️ so calming and relaxing
Great views interesting history and a bit of mystery. I liked the music.
Thank you so much for this beautiful, informative vlog and taking us along with you. I've been to Ravello a few times on day trips and visited the Villas Rufulo and Cimbrone. I love to sit in the main Piazza and soak up the atmosphere but I've obviously only just scratched the surface. Very best wishes to you, your family and friends.
Wow, I learned so much! The "magic tunnel", and the snippets of history just on this one episode of your vlog are awesome. We hope to be there one year from now and I am hooked on watching your channel. You've even made fun out of a very rough time, and you clearly have some amazingly smart, and very gracious friends. In particular, am learning how not to be a lame or rude American so we can appreciate and enjoy Italy as it is.
I really enjoyed watching this Nicki✨✨✨
Hi nicki, loved the episode as it brought back memories😊every time I stayed in Amalfi, Positano and Ravello, I would hike, run up and down the ancient, historical steps early in the morning. Thanks and keep uploading your wonderful videos🙏🏼
P.S. Italy is my favorite country to visit in Europe because of its history and to know that people have been living and walking the same streets, roads, steps for thousands of years is so surreal 'Rome is truly the eternal city'
I live in the Bahamas my cousin told me about this program I fell in Love with your show it is calming so beautiful thank you please keep it going I enjoy watching
Wonderful walk... will try to do it one day. Thanks for the hints!
A beautiful time in Ravello with the autumn colours.
That was wonderful thanks so much for taking me on vacation again
OMG I had a fabulous lunch at Hotel Caruso at the balcony with amazing view of the sea and mountains. I am so upset now that we are on 3rd lockdown here in London. These videos of yours just makes me happy and forget our current situation. Thanks
Just found this vlog. Reminds me when I did the Walks of the God, two years ago. This brought me back beautiful memories. Hope to be back soon to Positano,meanwhilei’ll enjoy your Amalfi coast uploads. 🌹
Absolutely, stunning scenery
I wish I was there
