A Day On The Coast

Our next day-trip from Sorrento was a private tour of the Amalfi Coast. We had our usual breakfast at the hotel, met our tour guide, and we were off!

The view from the road

Positano was our first stop

Some of the area's famous lemons

Just outside Positano

Another gorgeous view from the road

Turning off for Ravello...

Villa Rufolo is a beautiful property that is maintained

in Ravello and is frequently used for concerts and events

A passageway inside the villa

One of the interior gardens

By that time, we had worked up an appetite, so our tour

guide took us to a popular local spot for some homestyle cooking

Restaurant interior (it was packed- always a good sign)

The cute owner (a classic Italian nonna)

The rabbit cacciatore I had there was awesome!

From there, we went to a local wine shop, had a few samples, and picked out some gems to take home before meeting our guide and heading out to the next stop in Amalfi...

The Amalfi Cathedral 

As you can imagine, there was beautiful art inside

A statue of St. Andrew

The stunning crypt area- wow

We eventually made our way through the church, walked around town for a bit, and then it was time to head back to Sorrento. We dropped off our things at our hotel and decided to go for one last stroll since we were headed back to Naples and Rome the next day...

I am SO happy we finally found the abandoned mill in Sorrento before we left! Funny thing is that it is almost right in the middle of town, although it is not easy to spot at first (it is only visible from a certain bridge). Our discovery- along with our evening walk- was a great "last thing to see" in Sorrento.
