For my birthday in September Marissa and I went to the Amalfi Coast, which is also known as the Italian Riviera. After landing in Naples, we took a 2 hour bus ride along narrow, winding coastal roads to Amalfi Town.
This region of Italy is world renowned for their coffee so we made sure to get our fill. Their specially drink is called cafe nocciollo which is espresso with a hazelnut syrup, and it was delicious.
While in Amalfi town we took a day trip to Ravello which is a town up on a cliff with beautiful views of the water down below. After spending two days exploring Amalfi Town we headed to Sorrento with a quick stop in Positano for some lunch.
Sorrento is known for their lemons (they are huge!) and gelato so we had to try the lemon gelato while we were there. It was good, but we decided to stick with chocolate and hazelnut. Sorrento is a very cute town with a nice pedestrian shopping zone, incredible pizza, and awesome views of Mount Vesuvius. From Sorrento we took a day trip to Capri to see the Blue Grotto with our own eyes and to get some great views from the top of the mountain. The Blue Grotto was amazing even though we were only in there for three minutes.
After five nights in Italy we had our fill of coffee and gelato and headed back to Naples for Germany.
