Sorrento, Positano, and Capri
9:15 PM
We took a train from Florence alllll the way down to Naples and straight onto a ferry to Sorrento.
The salesman at the ferry terminal told us to not even consider the train because our stuff would get stolen...I mean, thanks for the warning but way to scare everyone.
Bustling public beach.
There's a walkway and a lift that goes up the cliffside to the town centre.

We took THE most crowded bus to the Amalfi coast. Because of the sheer number of people we would have to fight for a spot on the bus, we only made the one stop for the day.
And what an amazingly good stop it was! Positano is picture perfect.
Suuuper touristy but for good reason. Every turn around every corner is beautiful.
The water is the most gorgeous and clear blue. On the cold side but perfect for combating the heat of the August.
It was a glorious day to get in the water.
We stayed in a sweet Airbnb in Massa Lubrense, about 20 minute bus ride from Sorrento.
One of the cutest places we stayed. Loved it! Even though the host speaks little to no English, we got the instructions and advice communicated pretty OK.
The highlight of Massa Lubrense is definitely a random bakery we stumbled upon. BEST. Doughnuts. in Europe (so far) Seriously, fresh, light and full to overflowing with delicious hazelnut chocolate.
If I hadn't been so eager to bite into this one I could have taken a picture of the cute chocolate smiley face on the top :)

Alley in Sorrento before the market opened and it was flooded with people.
We were beyond excited to see the island of Capri and, of course, it had to rain and be the worst weather of our trip on that day :(
We had a delicious lunch with a great view (which would have photographed better if the weather had cooperated. Sorry!)
He's my favorite.
It was awkward to take a photo of these doors because of the narrow little roads but I love them.
We walked rather than take the tram up the small mountain. (The queue for the tram was NOT happy) Even though it was overcast, it was hotter and more humid than any other day so we were dripping by the time to the top. Gross but true.
Originally we thought that the ferry office in Sorrento (where we got the tickets for Capri) was the best source of information. THEY LIED. When we bought the tickets to Capri we were informed that the last ferry back would give us only a few hours to explore. After walking around most of the island, I asked the ferry office about times back to Sorrento. We could take any ferry back! We were excited to stay, do a tour, grab a lemony ice treat and more.
Our decision to take the tour around the island and see the Blue Grotto happened simultaneously with the closure of the tours because of rough water. Figures.

We found some delightful pizza our last night in Sorrento! Give us allllll the Italian eats.
It didn't even matter that this place was attached to a bowling alley. For reals.
