Ahhhh, the Amalifi Coast....

I was trilled to arrive in the Mediterranean town of Sorrento after an "eventful" stay in Naples.  The sun was out and I spent the evening having dinner in a piazza and wandering the streets of this small, but not too small, town. I came up to a promenade overlooking the beautiful sea with the sun just starting to set...
this is when I became hooked to this place.

I also toured the town of Positano and the island of Capri. My Dzaidzi (Polish for Grandfather - and he is a blog follower!) has talked about the beauty of Capri and the Blue Grotto. So they were a must see on my list! 

First off, here are some scenes from Sorrento: an adorable restaurant, lemon trees, some new friends I met from Chicago and we watched the sun set over Sorrento.

Positano is built into a rocky cliff and is full of narrow, zig zagging streets and lots and lots of stairs to climb. I found myself wandering into many of the ceramic stores of course. The day was rather overcast, but when the sun came out it made for some stunning views.

Last but not least is Capri which is only a 45 minute ferry ride from Sorrento and it is full of tourists. Visitors come to visit the Blue Grotto and to catch a glimpse of the high life on this posh island. The cliffs here are even steeper and you need to take a funicular to get to the city centre. I went for a walk further up the the cliff to the east and got some amazing photos of the other side of the island.
