Last Day in Praiano

Meghan and I woke up at the same time, but this time our parents got up before us. I guess they were embarrassed that they slept in yesterday. We ate a quick breakfast and then left the apartment to go on our big hike. We went to the grocery store first, and got some food for lunch. 

When I said big hike, I meant BIG hike. It had so many steps, your head would explode if you tried to count them all. My thighs were burning by the 100th step. It wasn't gradually going up, it was straight up, then flat, then straight down. On the flat part we found a picnic table and ate our sandwiches and peaches. Instead of going straight down, like the map said, we went on a smaller path for only ten minutes. The view was way worth it though. It was the prettiest part of the whole hike. 

We ran into a nice trio of people, and they took our group photo, and then we took theirs. We went up a little further, and then came all the way down, back to the regular trail. We met some more people that came from the way we were going to, and they said it was really dangerous. They were right. It was even worse than going up. My legs felt like they were vibrating. 

We stopped at a small convent on the way down. It even had a small snack bar. The sign said SNAK BAR. We didn't hang around, sadly, but we made it all the way down the mountain without collapsing, but at the bottom I'm pretty sure all of us felt like jelly.

We went back to the apartment and changed into our bathing suits and went to the harbor beach. All of us got into the water, which was a nice change. We stayed on the beach until it got cold. Dad cooked dinner, salad and spaghetti. We played a round of Donkey. It was a nice last day in Praiano.
