Next Stop, Amalfi Coast

After spending a bit of time in Rome, we were off to the Amalfi Coast - anyone who has been there, knows how stunning the cities on the coast are; Built into the cliffs with the ocean 800M straight below. The "highway" between the cities is enough to make even the best driver in the world sweat buckets, holding on for dear life. We booked a hotel in Sorrento for 6 nights and used that as our base point for the coast. Every day we would head to another town to check out the sights. Positano, Amalfi, Pompeii, and Capri. All equally beautiful, but each in their own way. My favorite being Capri (but for different reasons) and the next being Positano. Positano, is incredible!! Our friends, Grant and Nat, spent their honeymoon there and we now know why they would go there. My descriptions would do the city no justice, so if you have a chance
just google the city and see the pictures for yourself. We spent our day there in a restaurant by the sea sipping on wine and soaking in the sun. I think half of the reason why its such a great city is due to excitement of getting there.

The 6 days on the coast were really relaxing and a good mix between sight seeing and relaxing. We ended up picking a hotel that was a bit out of the city center and couldn't have been happier with our choice. The hotel had a washer and dryer for the hotel guests to use. Clean laundry when backing packing, is like the BEST thing ever!! Plus we weren't being charged $7/shirt to be cleaned - just fill the washer, put 5 Euro in and you are on your way. LOL anyways, enough with my tangent, but clean clothes seriously make us so happy.

Sorrento was a really cool city, sort of a big city vibe, but felt small (if you know what I mean). The prices at restaurants, clothing stores and most places in general were cheaper then all of the other cities on the coast - so you could load up on stuff you needed without paying a small fortune for it. I plan on heading back into Sorrento one of these days to hang out and maybe load up on a couple items that are pretty pricey in Capri.

Off to sleep now...

Much Love
