ROUGH SEA IN POSITANO & HOW GOOD IS HOSPITAL FOOD IN ITALY?| EP 212 

From NY, Ciao! This is best people channel on RU-vid! It is filled with the most down to earth and interesting family and friends! It is full of glorious photography, great editing, different places, local celebrations, food, etc....they make it seem so easy in the way they take us with them making everyday situations so engrossing and full of heart. This is hard work on their part and yet they make it seem effortless. Let's get Nicki and Carlo to a well deserved million subscribers starting with hitting the 200k mark by Christmas! You can hit the bell, subscribe for nothing, and it supports them. It's our way of saying grazie.

Nikki and Carlos, I must say that whatever you video is just absolutely riveting! Even misjointed content and just sharing snipets of your daily lifestyle is magnificent!

I love that all sea-side towns deal with the same bad weather in winter, all around the world. We have so much in common. It is tough.

Ahhhh! I love clouds, wind and rain.

So glad you got some rest, finally! Welcome home! Your Father is so amazing for being 90 yrs. Old! Thank you for your videos

I like the wildness of the sea & the quiet of the town off season.

Even when the sea is stormy it still looks a beautiful blue colour

Wonderful video, love that Carlo’s parents were looking out for Nicki while Carlo and the kids were away.

Glad Carlo is ok, best wishes for a speedy recovery

So glad Carlo’s surgery went well. I want to thank you for introducing us to Sara and Luca. I look forward to videos from both of you every Sunday. Nicki, I discovered you at the beginning of Covid and you helped me stay sane. It’s been wonderful seeing how you live in another part of the world. Chow from New Jersey

Like stormy weather, so are the storms in life. Thank goodness they come and they go. This video was a good reminder of that ❤

Carlo, so glad you had such a fast recovery!! Your videos are always such a pleasure to watch…I really treasure them!! Thanks so much!!!

Glad Carlo is well and I thank you for sharing the changes in weather as it’s wonderful to see how it affects others. It all was still beautiful to me and I appreciate when the gentleman said that the sea must be respected when it was stirring about….so true!!!

Glad to see Carlo is feeling better. Love the moodiness of Positano.

Don't say you're not as professional, Carlo...your drone footage is fabulous!🤩 You each bring your own style to it and we love just watching you just living your lives...gardening, swimming, cooking. Sometimes the unplanned things that happen are the most entertaining. 😆

The house looks lovely in the rain…Hope Carlo makes speedy recovery…

I loved it. I am glad Carlo is ok and had fun with Tommy and Skye. I can’t wait to see their adventures. Until next adventure. Caio

So happy to see Carlos surgery went well and he got to visit Prague ....Positano still looks beautiful in winter , lovely video thank you 🇨🇦

Nice to see you both. Feel better Carlos. The winter looks beautiful.

Yours is the only RU-vid channel that I watch each week without fail. Love the scenery, your travels, your everyday activities and your warm, down to earth personalities. Hope you get to the 200k mark because you deserve it.

So glad the surgery was quick and easy and Carlo was already up and about relatively quickly!! Super quickly!!!!

Hello Everywhere! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful lives in gorgeous Positano, Italy.🌹

What a difference from summer time to winter time. Positano is beautiful all year round.

Winter,Spring,Summer or Fall its all simply stunning.!! I'm so glad Carlo is doing ok

I’m wishing you a wonderful holiday season with your ♥️family ⭐️🎄🫶

Its wonderful to see how Carlo is getting more and more confident in front of the camera. I think he is natural talent, fingers cossed;)

The sea is a beautiful thing that requires a massive amount of respect. I look forward to seeing it and Positano in April!!

Am glad to hear you will be home in no time… wishing you a speedy recovery Carlos. Going into hospital is always a nervous time no matter how small the procedure. Take care 🤗 ciao ciao

I'm trying to back track and watch previous videos. Hope all is well with everyone! Thank you for sharing Italy with us.

I enjoyed Elizabeth's footage and Pepe's commentary; it was very informative. I had no idea just how rough and wild the sea became in the winter months. I expected the occasional storm but didn't expect it to be generally so rough.

Sorry to hear about the kidney stones and really happy surgery went well. I love your videos and your family.

Carlos is such a natural behind the camera and really looking forward to seeing his “creativity” from the trip. I love a good winter storm to snuggle by the fireplace and read. Makes us appreciate the beautiful change of seasons. Thanks again for sharing your lives and beautiful village. See ya next Sunday.

Glad it was a small simple operation. The scenes are beautiful even in a storm. 😊

The videos that you film are enjoyable because they are different. Plus your kids are lovely.

Don’t be sad about your winter. I live in Canada and I envy you in your sweater 😊 Always a pleasure to watch you! Definitely my favourite channel!

It's videos like this that keep me glued to your channel!

The way Carlo looked at you eating when he could not. He looked just like an hungry wolf poor Caro, love to you both xx

So glad Carlo is feeling better... So strong those waves.. Love your videos❤️

Subscribing to this wonderful channel is a true pleasure ❤

Sending Carlo prays for full recovery ❤ I'm so glad you guys got a private room to be together ❤ LOVED THE RAIN 🌧

Another wonderful video with the best news of Carlo's speedy recovery! No wealth like your good health!

Loved Elizabeth's filming part, incredible aftermath of the storm and Pepe's description of the storm was very informative. Had no idea Pepe commanded the English language so well, Elizabeth and Pepe should do more mini filming within your videos and maybe give us a view on what their family does during the off season.🙂. Hope you enjoyed your time alone Nicki💕......... Can't wait to see Carlo's video on his vacation with the kids😊

So glad Carlo's surgery was not serous and he is a-okay. The storm footage was amazing!

Hi Nicki and Carlo. Thank you again for showing what life is like for you in your part of the world. I love your garden by the way at all turns of the year. Please always keep it real. I like how Elizabeth and her husband explained the weather conditions and why work has to shut down at fall. Most viewers that are not from your part of the world will not understand it if you don’t explain why. So thank you and happy holidays from California.

The tenderness between you two is heart-warming. Take care and thank you for sharing your life.

I can’t watch the video right now but saw the hospital gown and had to rush to the comments and make sure My very favorite family in Italy was ok! ❤ Thank you for all your hard work creating and sharing videos of you and your entire family those of blood and friendship, it brings such joy to so many!

I just sent a link for your channel to my friend. I was telling her about it the other night. I said it’s simple, with beautiful scenery, nice people, and just a pleasure to watch. I am glad Carlo is okay.

I’m glad Carlo is ok , he’s looking extremely handsome, you are a beautiful couple x 🥰

Get well soon, Carlo. I know you both are happy to be home and well.

I’m so glad you are ok Carlo after your surgery. Your videos are great so please don’t underestimate yourself. You are terrific! Holly is so cute in this video playing with Indie!

Both Italian couples I follow on RU-vid are so much in love! So nice to see and something you can't fake. Lovely to see and how lucky they all are. Bravo Italiano 💕💕

Nothing like someone else’s storm to make you feel cozy. Although we could use that rain in Southern California

Always a pleasure to join you in your life in Italy , thank you .

Speedy Recovery Carlo ❤️‍🩹 Thank You for this episode Nikki. God Bless. 🥂

Thank you Nicki for sharing about Carlo, glad everything went well. Love seeing Elisabeth and Peppe 😀🌊 Thank you Elisabeth and Peppe! 🤗😘❤ much love to you and Carlo 🤗❤

So happy Carlo did well with his surgery looking forward to his video.🙂

Glad to hear all is well with Carlo and he is now enjoying time with the kids. By the way I love pastina soup. It is comforting and perfect when one is not well. Thanks for sharing the stormy seas. Mother Nature is always in command. Also, I have been following Luca and Sara and my heart goes out to them. It is truly incredible that he is alive and doing ok. Sara is a hero in so many ways. Wow!

I saw Sara & Luca & Luce on Carlos phone; through your channel intro I’ve been following them too & they always say how much you’ve supported them for what Luca is going through ❤️

Just wanted you to know that I loved your vlogmas videos last year, the traditional musical instruments were great and the little ones and the parade of cars through the streets, your work is incredible and I hope you know we loved and appreciated them all, and will do so in the future. All the best to Carlo in recovery. Look forward to the Prague video as my husband is from Czechia and we have visited often, love it also. The Christmas markets in Europe are all fabulous, spent one Christmas going around to all the markets in Europe, Vienna, Prague and all the village markets in Czechia, it was so lovely. And the food!!! and wine.

So glad to see Carlo doing so well after his surgery!

Your vlog just came up and I enjoyed it. Spent years trying to capture Postiano in watercolours from summer photos, as I've never been to that part of Italy so seeing it in winter was stark, nice to see a community clearing up the damage. I look forward to seeing more of your videos

Positano looks romantic also with bad weather thank you your videos are a gift to us wish carlo and all of you well

You guys are just sooo cute!!! Always put a smile on my face. Show more of the extreme weathers … I enjoyed the rain 😅

I'm glad everything went well with Carlo's surgery. Stay safe up there.

Glad to hear all went well with the surgery. The sea and the beach during the storm was amazing to watch. Thank you for another real good video.

Glad the surgery was successful. The winter sea looked pretty angry. Such beautiful colors and scenery. Thanks for sharing 😍😘

So pleased the surgery went well and Carlo was able to enjoy time away with the family. Your videos are always such a pleasure to watch I look forward to seeing Carlo's video next week.

Nicki & Carlos- To me, every video you share with us is special but this one was also important for my peace of mind. The timing of it couldn’t have been better… Last year, my husband went away to live with the angels. His doctors had told us the average time he had was around 7 years after diagnosis- sadly, we only had three. We were married for 34 years, and he was my best friend. He had so much life in him, and to lose him at only 56 broke my heart..The dynamic between the two of you always reminds me so much of the way we were together. I think that’s one of the reasons I’ve been watching your videos since I stumbled across your channel years ago.. When he was first diagnosed 4 years ago, we were in the process of finally realizing our dream to permanently move to Italy. He was an airline pilot and was senior enough he’d only have to commute to NY for work 3 times a month. He was already commuting 6 hours to work from where we lived, so in that aspect, it really wouldn’t have been much different. We’ve traveled many times to Italy, and seen a great deal of the country. We loved every bit of it, but the Amalfi coast was our favorite. He especially loved Sorrento…Once he was diagnosed, I sold our house and we came to Italy. We came very close to buying a flat, but ultimately decided he should spend whatever time he had left with family so after a couple of months, we went back to the States and bought a house 10 minutes from his Dad. While he still was able to speak, he made me promise that I would follow through on our dream. I tried to explain it wouldn’t be the same without him, but he was determined I would give him my word to move here, so I promised I would. It’s been the challenge of my life in the last year to try and create a life without him in it. I’m lost without him, but I’m trying to keep looking ahead..💔 Right now, I’m in Italy again, on another reconnaissance mission to find the place to call home, but tomorrow, I return to Florida for the holidays, because my quarantine time is officially over. Unfortunately, while I was here, I contracted Covid and had to go to the local hospital. It was not at all a good experience. I have been working on the language, but unfortunately, none of what I’ve learned thus far applies to a medical situation so that in itself was a challenge. The worst part was the doctors and nurses were clearly overworked- the place was SO crowded, people were on cots lining the hallway. It was chaos. I felt so bad for the medical staff there because they were obviously stressed and overwhelmed, and with good reason. I felt so sick, and very weak, and once I tested positive, they put me in a tiny metal chair, in the corner of a room with one bed that was occupied by an elderly lady, probably in her 90’s. I was so scared I’d pass Covid to her because I ended up sitting there in her room for 7 HOURS until they finally came back with results of X-rays, etc. I tried to ask if she had Covid, using a translator on my phone, but she couldn’t understand me. She seemed very confused and disoriented… The day after, I had four huge bruises from the rushed blood draws/IV… I won’t share the name of the town because I don’t want anyone to feel like I mean this to be critical of them, but I will say the population is around 100k. Which brings me to my point of this novel… Please tell me that this was an anomaly and that when/if hospital care is ever a necessity, it won’t be a repeat of this experience. I was SO happy and relieved to see in this video that Carlos was in a comfortable place and seemed to be very well taken care of. I’m hoping and praying that’s the norm. I’m generally healthy but have some issues with my thyroid and I’d so appreciate reassurance that the healthcare system is there if ever I were to need it. I’m sorry for the lengthy post, I hadn’t intended to write a novel.😔On a brighter note, thank you both so much for all that you do to share your life in Paradise with us all. I always find myself smiling when I’m watching you two!🇮🇹🌼🌱💕

So glad Carlo’s surgery went well. Thanks for sharing the cost information. It’s such a reality check for those of us in the US. Private hospital rooms, if available, are thousands of dollars a night… thousands! I love seeing the winter see too. Beautiful.

Glad Carlo is well and that he got his trip in with the kids. I always love your videos, no matter how different ❤️

Hope all went well with Carlos surgery. Looking forward to seeing Carlos “video”. Ad always thank you for taking us on such an amazing adventure!

Nature is beautiful in Positano! I'm glad you're able to see the colors and the waves and the sky during winter time.

Glad all went well with Carlo’s procedure. Kidney stones are no joke. Its amazing how different things look in Positano in winter and how dramatic the weather can become. I will look forward to seeing Carlos’ video of his trip with the kids to Prague-I love that be takes special trips with them. Good dad! As always, thanks for entertaining me on my Sunday afternoon, Nicki!

Happy to see that Carlo is doing well . Nikki as always you look great . Love the fact that you always have those two cuties in your videos . All the best 🇨🇦💛

Your initial journey was mysterious ,until you zoomed in on the hospital bed never could have guessed it.Glad to know all went well and carlo also managed the journey to milan& prague!The hospital food looked delicioys but healthy.Speedy recovery. ❤️ The storms were incredible Pepe speaks english very well lovely filming Elisabeth! Seeing the sun come out after the storm is incredible ❤️Thank you for sharing

You are an absolutely delightful couple and I enjoy all your videos! I hope whatever was the cause of Carlo needing surgery was not too serious! Carlo, you had excellent English when you closed the video & even when your English isn't perfect, you're always very understandable! Keep using your English without worrying about perfection!

Glad to know Carlo is doing well 👍

I really like Carlo's videos and I appreciate his editing style. It is different from yours...but, not in a bad way. I can see his personality in his editing, which I enjoy...so, I'm anxiously awaiting his travel video. Great video, as usual! Thank you for sharing with us. ☺️

Elisabeth thank you for showing us the specifics of where you are normally located and what it looks like on a day like today. That is so informative! It's so sweet how Carlos's parents have you over while he's gone. I look forward to Carlos video! Forget professional just looking forward to your perspectives on your trip! Glad you are well. One day I will forward a brief video of our winter storms, a little different than yours.

Yes, such a lovely natural and down to earth You tube Channel to watch. Lovely family and friends. So nice to see Elisabeth's husband talk and contribute. Everybody in your You tube are Awesome and wonderful. I really......love your You tube. Beautifully done 👍👏

Beyond gorgeous couple. When you begin to complain about hospital food just know you are so close to being discharged. Australia 💘💘

I remember the storms in winter when we lived in Pinetamare. We lived right on the beach and I loved watching the rough seas. It was so beautiful to watch. I love watching your videos. It reminds me of when I lived there. 💕💕

Glad Carlo is ok! Looking forward to his video of Prague!! The seas were so rough, but still beautiful. You two are the sweetest couple ❣ Until next time, Ciao for now ‼🇮🇹 ♥️ to Holly and Indie🐾🐾

I’m glad to know everything went well on Carlo’s surgery! Speedy recovery! What a terrible storm in Positano! 🙏 I didn’t expect how rough the sea was! Take care guys and have a very nice autumn time!! Bye bye 🥰❤️🥰❤️😘😘

Spectacular waves Nicki! Lovely for Carlo to spend time away with his children. Happy he's all better. ❤🍁

I'm glad Carlo is doing well.

Anyone who isn't subscribed is missing out......... BIG TIME! By far the best thing I watch these days and really look forward to each week.

The sea is still beautiful in winter

Yes, you have fullon grocery stores, complete grocery stores with all kinds of yummy chocolate, some foods, and so much fun to buy all the stuff as you were traveling throughout the countryside

Nicki aun con la tristeza que trae el invierno y esos dias tan grises(y la despedida a la pileta) Italia se ve tan pintoresca,hermosa! Que bueno que te encuentres bien Carlo, así como tambiénSara&Luca!..y queremos ver lo q filmasteeeee.... Ameeeeé la sopa de ""dedalitos" de tus Padres😍💕 Pepe&Elizabeth unos genios.. 😘💕🌹🌩⚡🐶🐕💖🌺🌺🏞

Another very interesting video, especially the storm and shots of the wild sea. That statement “Experience and Respect” was short and powerful advice. The stop on the motorway was a wow moment!

Glad all is well with Carlo. Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventures once again .. and I can't wait to see Carlo and the kids adventure next week! 🥰

Oh that ocean was so beautiful, I love the seaside in winter with storms. So glad Carlos is feeling better, those stone can be so painful when they move on through. Holly and Indie on the beach made me think of my own dogs that have since passed on, they were the same color and size as yours and they would play like that every day, it was a wonderful sight to see it played out again with your pups! 💜💜

So glad the surgery went well for Carlo, you're brave staying alone in such weather and no electricity Nicki.

Fantastic footage of the weather. So glad Carlo is doing good. Thanks for sharing.

I'm happy to see the surgery went well for Carlo and he was able to travel to Prague with his children. But I have a question. How was Carlo able to manage the stairs going back to the house after the surgery? It must have been painful. I look forward to seeing Carlo's video from Prague and I'm sure it will be enjoyable!

Glad to hear Carlo’s surgery wasn’t serious… I’m sure he was glad to get home even tho he had to quickly go to Prague… lol no rest for the weary as they say… omy that weather is scary all that rain and wind .. but that scene with those beautiful flowers and fruit makes you forget the storm ! Thank you for your videos they really are beautiful and heartwarming… even tho you,live in a beautiful fantasy place your lives are just as normal as any one’s else’s… looking forward to Carlo’s video I’m sure it will be great … ❤️

Wish you well Carlo my father suffered with these excruciating pain.stay warm love to all the family😘

So glad everything went well for Carlo ! Incredible to see how different the beach looks near winter. Here in Chile , South America, summer is coming up and temperatures are soaring. Hugs for you and the best week!🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

I, too, wondered how Carlo managed all the stairs after surgery, I am glad to hear that was not a problem. So nice to have time with the kids, too! I enjoy all of the videos Nicki and Carlo and family do. I will be in Amalfi for 12 nights next October and keep noticing different places I want to see while there through your videos.
