We asked Sabrina at the front counter how to get to the downtown area tonight. She said it was a 25 minute walk so we started out in the direction she pointed us in. We ended up stopping at this lookout point where we could see the whole bay of Sorrento. It was beautiful! There was this cave looking path by the look out and we walked down in it and it ended up taking us all the way down to the beach! Most beaches in Italy you have to pay for but we just walked right on this one. It had black sand and lots of rocks and was in this little cove area. There were only a few people there. We sat and soaked up the sun for a bit and collected shells and rocks. Kyle eventually started skipping rocks until his arm started to hurt. So we walked back up to the top and decided to go back to the hotel to get the car and drive to the city center instead. This is where Kyle fell in love with Sorrento. Right at the entrance to the main strip was...

We are now leaving Positano by ferry and headed to Amalfi.  It is a beautiful and the sun is shining with no clouds...a perfect day!  The water is pretty calm as well so the boat is gliding smoothly across the water. As we pulled away from the dock and started taking pictures of Positano.  The buildings contrast so well against the mountainside and make for a spectacular view. Another picture of Positano. We saw this giant hole in the mountain and thought it looked really cool.  I told Laura that a dragon lived there but she didn't believe me. Me and Laura on the boat! The Amalfi coast has many arches supporting the roads, which have been there for centuries.  They make for a good view! We made it to Amalfi!  We got off the boat and within a minute, we were in the city square.  We visited a paper store, since Amalfi is the birthplace of modern paper in Europe.  We tried to find this store the last time we drove thr...

Our first stop in Positano was at a look out point where you could see the whole town. There were a couple of vendors up there that were selling touristy goods and lemon everything. They have the biggest lemons I've ever seen in Positano. I have no idea how they grow so big!  The town was really cute from up high, all the buildings are white and light colors except for a few bright colored ones. The water is gorgeous over here too. So blue and so clear!   Oh what a good boyfriend taking photos for older couples. Our next stop was where we walked down through the town to the harbor. We had a few hours on our own to shop, grab lunch and explore before we had to meet with Aldo at the dock to take the boat to Amalfi. The Islands of Sirenuse where the mythological Mermaids used to live and eat sailors! Scary. I kept Kyle close by my side the rest of the day! We seriously got so lucky with weath...
