• Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, Ravello

    May 6 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    A huge day again today. Took another organised tour so we could get a look at some of the Amalfi Coast without worrying about the logistics. We knew it was only going to give us a glimpse, but hearing how chaotic that area of Italy is, we thought that would be all we’d want. First stop, Sorrento. We were given free time to roam. Peter and I walked to a vantage point for a stunning view of the coastline. There were musicians playing Italian music which heightened the experience. We grabbed a quick bite, then went into a shop that gave us lots of tastings. Chocolate, pistachio, Limoncello, Meloncello, biscuits, spices etc. I wanted to buy everything. lol Back in the van and our next stop was Positano. More free time to do more of the same. We stopped along the coastline at a gorgeous little restaurant clinging to the side of the cliff face, with a lemon arbor over the tables. We had our lunch here, then headed for Amalfi. We stopped at Amalfi, and then went on to Ravello. I found them all to be very similar. Same kind of shops, similar views of rugged cliff faces, littered with buildings. Beautiful blue water, and tonnes of tourists. Am I glad we went, yes. Would I go again, no. I personally think it’s overcrowded and overpriced, but I’m glad we saw what we did. After today we were both happy we based ourselves in Naples and just did day trips. Out of all the places we visited over the last 3 days, Capri was our favourite. 💙Read more
