The four of us woke up excited for our day — we were heading to the Amalfi Coast! We were greeted by our tour guides, Luca and his fiancé, Gabby.
It took about an hour and a half to reach our first destination, Positano! The views on our way there were GORGEOUS!
Positano was everything we imagined..and then some! How the residents manage the steep roads is unbelievable. Our guides told us they mainly find parking along the road getting in and out of town and walk to their homes! 😳😳😳
Our second stop of the day was to the lovely, peaceful, you just gotta love it, Sorento! We walked along the cafe lined streets, browsed in some quaint little shops and came across a charming restaurant, Bellevue Syrene (1820), overlooking the Bay of Naples!
We were seated at the BEST table on the amazing patio and enjoyed the food, the drinks, and soaked up that fabulous view!
Gabby told us to try the dessert pastry called Delizia al Lamone. We did and it was AMAZING!
We needed a few hours more in Sorento, but we WILL be back! Our next stop was a place to test various limoncellos! John and Mike liked each and every one of them!
Luca and Gabby recommended getting a tour guide to walk us through the ruins. We opted to do the audio tour so we could spend as much time as we wanted at various places. We should have listened to Luca and Gabby! The map was impossible to use — and John and Mike are proven experts at reading maps!
We did the best we could.
When we met back up with our darling guides and explained our disappointment, they suggested we watch Alberto Angela’s I TRE GIORNI DI POMPEI. We all plan to watch it (if we can figure out where we can watch it) or, at least, get his book and read it. The ruins definitely tell a sad, sad story.
We made it back to our little street where we ate a great dinner of….you guessed it….PASTA!
CIAO FOR NOW!
