amalfi coast


They say "save the best for last," and that's exactly what we did. The Amalfi Coast was the most beautiful place we have visited, and it was the perfect ending to a perfect 4 months in Europe. 


Capri.

We spent our first day on the coast in Capri exploring the island by boat. The water was more blue and clear than I have ever seen. And we couldn't have asked for more gorgeous weather (finally getting a tan...)!



The Blue Grotto.

One of the wonders of Europe (not the world unfortunately): The Blue Grotto. We had to get into tiny row boats and lay along the bottom of the boat to fit inside the tiny opening to the grotto, but once we were inside I was blown away. It was the most beautiful cave I have ever been in (I think the only cave...). We even got to jump into the water!

The Coral Grotto

After our boat tour we got off in Anacapri and traveled to the top of the town for lunch and more incredible views. Also, we were able to have sandals custom made for us by the cutest little shoemakers ever!



Making my shoes!

We then took a chair lift all the way to the top to even prettier views! I didn't even know it was possible for it to get more beautiful.






We enjoyed happy hour at our resort before heading into Sorrento for dinner.


Positano.

The next day we ventured to Positano for a beach day! 



Swim in the mediterranean...check!

Bye Positano!

Before heading home Sunday, we stopped in Pompeii and explored the ruins and Lizzie finally achieved her life long dream of seeing Mount Vesuvius.
