The Amalfi Coast!

Here are some pictures from our trip to Sorrento and Capri during the Zook's visit to Italy. The drive along the Amalfi coast is amazing, and the views are stunning. We are lucky enough to live only about an hour and a half away, so hopefully these pictures will bribe some of our family and friends into coming to visit us! We stayed in Sorrento waaaay up in the mountains, and took the ferry over to Capri for a day trip. Sorrento is fun and lively, and Capri is absolutely beautiful. As we drove along the coast, we stopped in the little towns of Ravello, Positano and the actual town of Amalfi. We also took a very long, narrow, winding bus ride up into Anacapri and strolled around town. Having had the chance to see this area of Italy, I clearly see why this is the place to be! Hope you enjoy the pictures, speramo tutto bene con ognuno! Ciao!




















This is the port at Capri









This is a view of the tiny row boats hitching a ride with our boat to the Blue Grotto. The blue grotto is a sea cave that is carved into the coast of Capri. Roman emperors used this grotto as a private bath.





You see that tiny little opening?...that is the entrance into the grotto! In order to get inside, you have to lie completely flat in the row boat and then you are pushed on in! All you see is that amazing blue water. Our lovely Italian row boat man was nice enough to serenade us while inside!









Amore in Italia!
