My wife and myself burst out laughing when you mentioned the food in Italy and not for the reasons you may think. Our son just recently moved to Naples for work and his assessment of the food and restaurants was almost exactly the same word for word as yours. He will be hiking Sorento tomorrow not sure which trail. I think there will be less crowds due to the weather. BTW we are also from New Orleans and know good food.
Oh the memories this brought back to me. I walked the Path of Gods on August 12, 2022 and we didn’t run into very many people at all. One tour group, and a few couples. Beautiful walk, I miss this magical place. Thanks for taking me back.
I’m actually planning my trip to italy and heard a lot about this hike that it is the most beautiful hike in italy and a MUST if u were visiting, watched videos about it seemed so dangerous and not a fun thing to do not mentioning the wild horses and how unexpected their actions could be,I felt u must really enjoy hiking to plan to go there not just oh it’s beautiful let’s go but nearly every one who vlogged their hike only said amazing things and the only cons was the steep stairs down! so I was telling my self to not judge based on some videos and plan it to see for myself but tuned out every thing i was worried about is true lol. So yeah thank you for your honesty I no longer want to go
I'm probably one of the .08% of people on Earth who wasn't impressed by food in Italy, but I just wasn't.🤷 Maybe I'm just acclimated to the seasoning and kick of New Orleans Italian food, but I found the stuff there to be exceptionally bland and boring.
I want to hike Path of the Gods but like you would want to avoid the crowds? Which month did you hike Path of the Gods? Time of day you started? Thanks for the video!
For me and my wife , we find food is hit and miss. Worse yet , tourists bring a hype to food that , well mentally up their rating of it simply because they expect it to be good , and therefore then believe it is. I've had good food on vacation, and crap , all over. We mostly cook for ourselves when on vacay. My friends deride us for it.
This is hilarious to me. Italian food is objectively top notch. You try to drop that you've been to 30 countries to make yourself sound qualified, but your dropping of NOLA and packaged salami makes it clear what you value: SALT. It's fine if you don't appreciate freshness and prefer heavy seasoning, but its laughable to say Italian food in Italy is a disappointment. Maybe it shows your lack of discernment in picking restaurants, but it probably just reveals your lack of a developed palate
Can't help it. Sure I'm no sophisticated foodie, but just saying. Lamest food and dining experiences I've ever had. Not awful. But about as boring as boring as math class in high school. I'm not sure it's a salt thing. Maybe just more seasoning and life. And I didn't find it all that fresh, fruit selection isn't that great, unlike many other places. I found the restaurants boring too...And no, I have no developed palate or food sophistication. It's not my thing. But still, in so many places I've been how can Italy be so boring? Never had a problem picking restaurants anywhere else. Just saying, IMO, the most overrated cuisine and food I've ever experienced. Restaurant wines sucked too. Tasted like MD 20/20, and I couldn't find a decent cab. Guess I'm just not sophisticated enough for Italy. 🤷
Well you are wrong. My son just moved to Naples and his assessment of the food and restaurants was exactly the same as even to the availability of fruit. I think you are projecting and it is your lack of experience with restaurants and a underdeveloped palate on your part. When packaged salami is better than the food offered at a restaurant it is clear the food in area in not top notch. My son was even disappointed in the bread in the area. BTW I am from New Orleans also, I guarantee any local home kitchen cook can out cook what my son has be served while in Italy.
@@jimclark7125 lol really cool that your son moved there. idk what to tell you or your son if he can't find good restaurants and fresh produce. the world disagrees with you both and that's good enough for me

My theory on the NOLA salt lovers not knowing good food when it literally hits their tongue is looking better and better

This is still an amazing trail. I just wonder if there's a way to experience it without such insane crowds.

Nice video. I am going to Positano next year and can't wait to eat the food I've seen on videos. Hopefully, I won't have the same experience.

He said the food wasn't great and showed a bunch of pictures of spaghetti...hard to take it seriously 🤦♂️
@@StevenPearson1981 this right here. guy's palate is severely lacking
Hey, thanks for sharing. So from Nocelle you can actually WALK back to positano?
Yes. It's a long hike down the mountain but easy enough.
Just come home from Amalfi coast. Why is there so many of you Americans there 😄. I guess Italy is your number 1 when visiting Europe

If I recall this was in May. I started first thing in the morning.
You need to get the trail calles Cai 327a, there are less people
The bus did not catch me, because it was full the people.

That’s beautiful and awful 😂 luckily, if enough people watch your video, when I go it’ll be quiet 😊
Se vai sull'EVEREST troverai condate interminabili di scalatori.
E immondizia dovunque.
Don't hike in August!!!
Ridiculous

Watch out for the frozen fish from China too 😂
Sounds like you took this personally.
