The Amalfi coast is absolutely beautiful. The mountains are dotted with hotels, charming homes and sprawling villas and the lush vegetation colours the slope side. This area is known for it's lemon and olive trees which seem to be everywhere. Lemoncello is the drink of the area and is a very lovely treat after a big meal.
Our first day here we took a private bus tour to visit the towns of Positano and Amalfi.
Positano is situated on a very steep side of the mountain and is a quaint seaside village with narrow streets lined with lovely shops. Amalfi is equally as charming with exquisite shops and quaint restaurants. Fresh fish is the most popular dish on the menu. Some of the ladies took a boat ride along the coast to view the magnificent towns from the water. This area has many villas which are owned by famous people, such as Sophia Lauren, Roger Moore and Gina Lola Bridgida to name a few.
Everyone seemed to come away with a few purchases of momentos from these towns. Our bags are starting to get a little heavy. On the way back to Sorrento we took the high road to the top of the mountain. The view was breathtaking. Our guide suggested we stop at a local shop to tast the famous monk cheese. Mmmm Mmmm good. We purchased cheeses, pastas and wine. It was a great day enjoyed by all. This evening we walked into town for a lovely dinner. The people all seem to be so nice in these seaside towns.
