Futura Casoria

Greeted in Sorrento by the warmth of an early afternoon sun we set out to discover the Amalfi Coast, considered to be the most dramatic and beautiful coastline in all of Europe. A dizzying yet spell binding ride along seaside cliffs dropping into the clear blue waters of the Gulf of Salerno, we arrived in Positano, the quintessential picture pos...

receptionist says she did not get any flowers yesterday since she
does not have a boyfriend. She'd like a boyfriend who is cute, smart
and has a job, but she'd settle for two out of three of these
attributes.

Well....a relatively unexciting day turned into a very comical evening all thanks to Antoni, Antoni, oh yeah and Antoni...haha.

We spent the morning running around town trying to find a road or trail that would take us up and out, for a better vantage point, but seemed to strike out several times. We returned to town since the wind had ...

Slow day in Sorrento today. It has been mostly sunny all day, but very windy and chill. We found our way to the parts of the waterfront we had missed before, and tried a couple of different routes to get up high on the hill, but were thwarted by gates leading into private entrances. We'll save the overview of the city for another visit.

Our initial weather impressions of the Amalfi coast were less than perfect when we arrived in Napoli to pouring rain and gusty wind - so much for the summer holiday part of our trip?! We found from the tourist office that the ferry wasn't runnning due to the weather, so the only way to Amalfi was to brave the bus that everyone had told us about....

Today Fugi and I got up late cause we stayed up just talking about travelling and life in general. It seems as if this entire experience here in Italy has made me grow and developed my character. Anyways, we went to the harbor with the entire group because we were now off to the island of Capri, just off the coast of Napoli. It was a smooth rid...
