Adventure to Amalfi

This weekend was amazing! I can honestly say that this weekend I saw some of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen in my entire life so far. I hope that there will be many more experiences like that come! My six apartment-mates and I decided on a Tuesday night that we wanted to book a trip. Once we started researching and looking seriously at weekend trips we decided that the upcoming weekend would probably be the best... as in leaving in two days! We are crazy but I'm happy we actually did it. Out motto was that we are in Italy for adventure. This would definitely be an adventure. Why not! Haha. Our adventure consisted of Sorrento, the island of Capri, and Positano in the Amalfi Coast. (Under the Tuscan Sun movie reference: Positano is where Marcello lives! So we ran around yelling "Marcello! Marcello!" hahha)

I'm really glad we went to the Amalfi Coast, its one of the destinations I read about last summer (The House in Amalfi by Elizabeth Adler) when studying in Italy was just a dream and reading about Italy made it seem closer. I recommend Elizabeth Adler books to anyone who is looking for fun reads about Italy.

These are pictures from the island of Capri. We went on a day cruise around the island with the company that we booked the trip with. It was a lot of fun because it was a trip with a bunch of other people our age from our school.




This looks like we are swimming in a pool but It's the Mediterranean! It was so beautiful because the driver just stopped the boat and everyone jumped in. We swam through a little cave, I'm pretty sure it was called grotto verde.

These next pictures are from the next day when we took a bus to Positano. The little beach at the bottom with the orange umbrellas is actually where we walked down to! We spent pretty much the whole day there and at about 6pm we had an amazing dinner at this restaurant on the beach (the fish platter is what Shea had for dinner, it was so pretty I took a picture of it haha) I had some of the best mussels on top of spaghetti.






This is the town we stayed in, Sorrento. We walked all the side streets and explored the last day before we got back on the bus to Rome.





I saw this on a side street and just thought it was beautiful.. "i love you"
