Entrance to Sorrento. I asked the driver to pull over so I could take this picture because it was absolutely breathtaking.

On the way to Praiano. The Amalfi coast is beautiful, but the roads have so many twists and turns I felt sick the entire way there. It doesn't help that the roads are super narrow and everyone drives really fast!

A perfect parking spot in Praiano

Praiano pupper

Praiano church

Praiano. Not viewed: bocce ball court right below this.

Cappuccino. Hard not to get one every day.

Positano. I mean... You have to visit to understand how crazy this is in person.

Positano heading in.

While Pompeii isn't exactly the Amalfi coast I still enjoyed the statue :)

All taken in March 2019 by me. It seems so far away now.

Positano: What *won't* people do for water-view property?

Went last year, rode a Vespa from Sorrento up to Ravello with my gf on the back. One of the best experiences of my life. Love this place <3

Europe as a whole is pretty fucking cool, but the Mediterranean Coast is great no matter where you go.

I once watched a porn filmed there. The house was incredible. I actually spent over an hour locating it on Google maps. Yes, I need help.

I finally got to Italy at 40 in 2018. We were only driving through the Amalfi coast and I had decided I needed to go back.

If you ever do get the chance make time for palau/la maddalena. Palau harbor is where James bond drove the lotus into the water.

You'll get there some day, I believe in you! I kept trying until the time was finally 'right'. If you ever need tips hit me up.

I had planned for a 6mo sabbatical for traveling for this Spring.. a restructuring at work made me postpone it for 2021. I was bummed, (1)

So beautiful. Love to see it in person someday. On a side note. This reminds me of the Amalfi tracks from Gran Turismo and Forza.

Having seen both the Forza and real version, Forza absolutely did it justice.

Aside from the wonderful coffee and great surroundings the cappuccino is like 1.2 EUR or something. Dirt cheap.

Traveling through Europe was the only time I've ever drank wine on a daily basis. It was cheaper than the water and delicious.

If you do make it to Santorini - The winery is awesome and renting a car is great fun if you're not terrified of cliffs.

Thanks for the tip! I hope I get there :-) what time of year would you recommend going there?

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Seconding the wineries there! I went Memorial Day week and it was quite lovely. I suspect going a little earlier it would be less busy.

Thanks for the tip. So like this time of year would be perfect? Stupid China. Ruined everything!
