Maggie Tabberer's daughters restaurant

Friday 8th September 2006
The plan for the day was a trip to Pompeii and we had an early breakfast and went to the car; agh! ‘many a slip twixt the cup and the lip’; the next dor neighbour had a car parked in his space and someone else had parked a car just next to the driveway to our front door so that even if Adam had been able to swing the car a little there was no way that we were going to be able to get out. It was still about 0830 so I thought that if I buzzed the intercom of the villa next door and they at least moved their car we would have more of a chance. ‘Buzz buzz, bugger, all to no effect no-one was home. In the end we gave up and left a note on their door and decide to take a different trip, one that required no car. We walked down to the beach front and took a ‘free’ boat to the ‘Da Adolfo’ restaurant, which is just a little way up the beach from Positano and the location of two little restaurants that can only be accessed from the sea. Rosalind and Sheila were keen to visit ‘Da Adolfo’ as they told us that it is famous and owned and run by a daughter of Maggie Tabberer. I think famous is an in-appropriate adjective and that infamous is more suitable; the food was CRAP and vastly overpriced so I don’t think it was a ‘free’ boat ride at all and then they also had the gall to charge for the use of two deck chairs on a very pebbly beach. The only saving grace was the opportunity for Adam and I to have a swim ‘play’ on the beach and take some reasonable pictures of Positano from the sea.
Sheila did not want to swim as there was no sand and she found the pebbles too hard to walk upon and Rosalind was feeling too cold and wanted to bask in the shade.
Those pictures are as follows:
