On Thursday me and 4 of my roomates went with Euroadventures to the Amalfi coast. We took a coach bus from Florence on Thursday night and drove 8 hours to Sorrento in southern Italy. We didn't get there until 2:30am so we all passed out once we arrived. The next morning when we woke up we got lunch and took the ferry to the island of capri. When we got there we walked around the island and followed the signs to the "centro" what we didn't know that getting there meant walking up the biggest longest hill of my life. When we got to the top we were all sweating profusely/ dying but the view at the top was unbelievable and worth it. We found a cute little hand made sandal shop which had an equally cute little old italian woman who was so excited for us to be in her store. She told us that Jackie O came to her store 3 years in a row and bought sandals from her and then showed us a picture on the wall, she was precious and we all got sandals. We then walked back down the hill had a glass of wine and waited for the ferry. We got back to Sorento showered and got ready to go out. First we went to this karaoke bar then we went to this bar that was completely empty but at the time we didn't care. I made friends with the cook and he made me french fries even though the kitchen was closed we were all excited to eat them. The next morning everyone was too hung over to get up except for sarah and I. We got up went had some breakfast ironically at the same bar we went to the night before which was awkward. We then walked to the port and made it on the ferry to capri just in time! Once we go to Capri we took a boat to the blue grotto, which is one of the wonders of the world. It is a cave that you go in by boat and when you go in the light from outside of the cave reflects on the water making the water a crazy glowing blue color, It WAS AMAZING! In order to get into the cave you have to sit on the floor of a little row boat and the man with the oar holds on to a rope pulls you in, everyone has to duct in order to not hit there head on the cave entrance, it was unreal inside, amazing. After the grotto sarah and I were cold so we had hot chocolate and desserts which were both bad, but decorated beautifully. After that we stumbled upon a store that sells designer clothes for very cheap. They have clothes from past seasons. Sarah and I ended up buying matching dolce and gabbana dresses for really cheap! Then we walked down to the beach and just laid on some rocks in the sun for an hour or so, got back on the ferry and back to our hotel. We showered and then went out to dinner. We went to this pizza place that was really good. Pizza I guess was invented in Napoli which is right next to Sorento so they have the best pizza down there. We were all really tired that night so we just stayed in. On Sunday we took a train to Pompeii to see the ruins. It was really crazy and so big! I took some rocks to bring back for my dad :) After pompeii we went back because we had to get on the bus and drive another 8 hours back to Florence. We got home late and I passed out. It was a great weekend, I had a lot of fun and laughed a lot, its so crazy that I have about a month left!
