#day trip
Positano is the village close to the Amalfi Coast and one of the coastal villages which is also popular and famous. If you stay for more than 1day or 2 you can not forget it. Positano is the village easily accessible from the sea. So, what to do at Positano? Arriving by train or boat starts at Viale Pasitea, a big route down the cliff to the shores of the sea with boutiques in Positano with chic clothes, hand crafted leather sandals and original paintings. Since you are in town, you should not be missed.The street was finished in a small square facing the sea, facing the church of Santa Maria Assunta. It was famous on numerous postcards for its luminous ceramic cupola. The image of the Virgin from the Nera, made in Byzantine style, dates back to the 13th century. After you leave the temple, you will head down the steps to Spiaggia Grande beach where you can enjoy the amazing view of the vibrant mountain city. When you walk through different cafes , restaurants, clubs and bars, you can relax by the water.You can take the tracks westwards, the road that leads to the beach of Fornillo by the Sentiero degli Innamorati. The ancient Saracen tower built to combat pirates is situated on the road on the farthest point on the shore.

It feels incredibly weird to have an entire week off in Paris. In the past 6 months my holiday time has always been filled with working, vacations with the family, or my own ventures to other countries. I assumed the February holidays would be the same since next week I’m going to the Alps with my host family, but a few weeks ago my host mom told me I had the entire first week free as well since she is taking the children to their grandparents’ house.
So to make use of this time, on Tuesday I took a 2 euro megabus and made my way to the northern French city of Lille.
I’m always a little hesitant to take trips on my own, but this seemed like the perfect happy medium since it was only for a day - no different than the days I spend wandering around Paris. I arrived at about 11:30 and just spent the entire day walking to different parks, cathedrals, and exploring little back streets. The weather was pretty gloomy but lucky for me it only rained while I was inside having lunch and for about 10 minutes while I was walking around.
Lille really felt like a mini-Paris. Many of the monuments were dedicated to the same people so even the streets and parks had the same names as in Paris. I walked from the main city center, to Vauben park and the park surrounding the Citadel.
Even in winter this area was so beautiful, I would have loved to see it when the trees aren’t so naked.
My favorite part was the utter freedom I felt to do whatever I wanted. I could focus on my photos and not feel guilty for holding anyone up. At one point I just sat in the park and enjoyed the scenery with zero concerns for a schedule or plans. On the other end, it’s always nice to have company and share new experiences with fun people.. but one of the major things I wanted to gain by moving to France was more independence - or rather to be more content in my voluntary solitude - and that is exactly what I have been getting. I appreciate my alone time so much more than I ever have before and I’m incredibly grateful for that.
The next solo trip I’m taking will be a little more extensive. I booked a train ticket to Geneva, Switzerland and will be spending two days hiking around Lake Geneva. As much as I love exploring new cities I’ve been really craving some outdoor adventures. So I’ll be headed there in mid-April and from there I’m flying to Berlin for a few days.
In the meantime I have snow to look forward to starting Saturday, and my sister comes in 2 weeks! :)
Very excited.
