What an amazing part of Italy. The Amalfi Coast is truly a gem, and is certainly one of my favorite places I have visited in this country. We started the trip on a bus that left at 6:30 am Friday morning. Early, yes, but we were excited, so time was not an issue for me. There were 75 of us students on the trip, so two full buses on the road, and we were off.
We arrived in Napoli in the early afternoon and had a few hours to wander the city. Here is some history on this city. Its really old, HAHA. OK, so most of the towns are really old. Anyways, its a very large city, the third largest in Italy behind Milan and Rome. It is the pick-pocketing capitol of Italy, and therefor is pretty dangerous to be in at night, and especially alone, or being a woman. There are parts of town that even a group of full grown adult men should not be in at night. But, none the less, an important city, famous for their Pizza. It was very tasty, I must say, but not the best I have had in Italy.
After jumping back on the bus, we headed to our hotel to unload and rest before dinner. Everyone was pretty wiped from being up early and crammed on the bus for so long. Dinner was served at a local restaurant, and wasn't very good. But, it was food none the less, so I was not going to complain.
The next day, Saturday, we spent on the island of Capri. What a stunning island, very beautiful and rich in seafood and lemons. All day we slept on the beach, basking in the sun watching the crystal clear water wash up on the rocks! So amazing! The island is small, but full of many amazing things, including beautiful caves, fresh lemons, and expensive shopping and stunning beaches. I really enjoyed swimming, and the smile from ear to ear is still beaming across my face as I reflect on the time at the beach.
Pompei was also amazing, which is where the group spend Sunday morning. The ruins are incredible, and the view of Mt. Vesuvius is so neat! What a story this place has, its rich history is something worth learning.
The bus left Sunday around 2pm and we arrived back home in Florence around 8pm. We all passed out from the sun and travel filled weekend, but really enjoyed out time! Can't wait to come back and visit again, it was wonderful <3
Ciao Bella
