The Most Beautiful Coastline- The Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast was THE one place that I couldn't leave Europe without seeing, and to experience it with my parents was a dream.  We spent one night in Sorrento then drove the coast to to the
little heaven that is Ravello.


Sorrento from our patio, a hazy morning.




Sorrento's town center

We didn't make it long before we stopped for a walking beer/champagne.


Not a bad set up...public lounge chairs over looking the mountains.

Our first caprese salad, many more to come.

Our drive along the Amalfi Coast.  Kate would have been throwing up out the window.

Our hotel in Ravello...paradise with a view!  We were literally hanging over the cliff.




Limoncello tasting before our hike to Amalfi Town.


A quick stop at Villa Cimbrone, the gardens of Ravello.




The Terrace of Infinity

Approaching the town of Atrani




A beer and some chips before...

...the swim.  I was happy to dip a toe in and be the photographer!

Entering Amalfi town



Happy hour with the Limoncello we bought from our tasting.

My turn to make friends.  This bird had a more
extensive vocabulary then I do.


Off to Capri!

Quick stop in Positano.




Capri's main cathedral.




The chair lift up to Anacapri.









Thanks to my cousins recommendation, we stopped for a quick drink at the Cesar Augustus.  The views were ridiculous and so was the Bellini!







Some mother/daughter shopping time...much needed!





Happy hour in the park overlooking Ravello with a local bottle of wine.


And then it was back to Guernsey for a few more nights.

Another wonderful trip with great company.  Two trips to Europe in 13 months.  Thank mom and dad!!
