This past weekend at the Amalfi Coast was absolutely
amazing! We traveled to Sorrento, Capri, Positano and Pompei. We left Thursday
night with a huge group of about 40 or so! It took about 7 hours to get there
but it was so worth it. We stayed at a hostel in Sorrento.
On Friday we took a
ferry to the island of Capri. It was gorgeous. We had a boat tour around the
island. They took us to the famous blue grotto where we go to go inside the
grotto and swim! The water was SO blue- such a neat experience. We saw many
famous people’s houses like Georgia Armani and Brad Pitt. The rest of the day
we decided to stay at the beach. The water was crystal clear and the beach was
rocky not sandy which took some time getting used to. We also did a little
shopping. I got a cute little bracelet made with a pretty coral colored coral
from Capri! That night as a huge group of 40 we all went out to the town of
Sorrento for an amazing dinner.

Saturday was my favorite day of the trip. We drove to Positano,
which is a smaller beach town on the Amalfi coast. These beaches are called
black sand beaches but really the sand is grey. Very different from the white
sand beaches I am used to in Destin or Gulf Shores. We then took a boat to go
cave swimming and cliff jumping! It was a great experience although it was
kinda scary haha I only jumped off the cliff once while my friends kept going 2
or 3 times. We then decided to go back to the beaches or Positano to just hang
out. By that time we were all exhausted and had all gotten a little too much
sun! That night we had a buffet dinner on the rooftop of our hostel where a
band played -another great way to end the night.

On Sunday we packed up our things and were on our way to see
the ruins of Pompei. We had a great tour guide that took us through the old
Roman town showing us homes and markets before the volcanic eruption happened.
It was so incredible to see Pompei- I had always read about it in school but
never really knew how intact the town really was. Can you imagine being the one
who discovered these ancient ruins? By the time our tour was over we were very
hungry and decided to eat at a place called Pompei Pizza. We then loaded up our
bus and headed back to Florence.
The weekend was amazing but it was so nice to come back “home”
to my apartment in Florence and get a good night sleep!
