Amalfi

The Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast, about two hours south of Naples, is absolutely gorgeous! The drive twisted along the edge of the cliffs on little narrow road but the views were spectacular! It was a little misty and hazy that day, but it made it a kind of magical.
This is a rock, shaped by the wind and natural elements but is known as the Virgin Mary. Pretty cool. On the way to Amalfi we stopped at two little villages
Sorento and Positano, just to take pictures. There were really cool buildings in the little towns that we passed through
Every turn was so breathtaking....the sea, the coast, the buildings built on the cliffs, it was all really beautiful. Like out of a storybook.

Can you imagine living here? it would be so pretty.

We spent most of our time in Atrani, a little town right next to Amalfi but not as well known so there were hardly any tourists there.


This is AtraniWe found the main piazza and had lunch at a little outdoor cafe.We ordered milkshakes and of course pizza!
Yum!
