Amalfi Coast !

The Amalfi Coast is an incredible stretch of coastaline ocean on the southern coast of Salerno.There are 13 municipalities that wrap themselves around the rocky edge and we were able to visit four of them. The views are exquisite and breathtaking none the less. We set up our tent in Sorrento, the only town to have a campsite. Our site was decorated with olive trees and had a crystal clear, ocean view.

Each town was full of character, especially the town of Amalfi. As we parked the car a man recommended to us that we visit his moms restuarant in the centre of town. We walked in and there she was, a true Nonna cooking up a storm. She prepared a delicious meal that we will forever remember. We walked the streets sampling Limoncello, dried fruits dipped in chocolate and homemade gelato.

We made our way down to the Amalfi beach where people were tanning and swimming in the bright blue Mediterranean Sea.

Cheers!
