For our final stops of the trip we headed to the southern coast of Italy to Sorrento. The first part of the trip was all about touring and walking from sun up until sun down; the second part was all about relaxing and taking in the amazing coastal sites! Sorrento is a gorgeous display of sea cliffs and a luxurious town known for their production of lemons. We had quite the crazy trip to get to Sorrento, but once we arrived we realized it was totally worth it!!! The B&B we stayed at was named Paradise, and it and fully lived up to its name! It was on top of a hill over looking the town of Sorrento, the Gulf of Naples, and the Isle of Capri and Mt. Vesuvius in the distance. The view from our balcony was the most amazing view I have ever experienced...the pictures just don't do it justice. The home was located so high up the hill that our host had to drive us up and down (I won't even try to describe the ride, but just know that each time it was like putting our lives at risk!!!) We spent our time enjoying the charming town, sipping lemon granitas, and taking in the beach!
We took a day trip by jet boat to Capri, the "Island of Dreams". Once we arrived, we hopped on another smaller boat to travel around the island, and then climbed into yet another even smaller boat (max capacity = 5 people) to venture into the Blue Grotto cave. Using a rope our rower pulled us into the cave as we layed in the boat, once in our rowman sang a little tune as he rowed us through the cave lit up with the most amazing blues!!! We spent the rest of the day at a public beach taking in the sun and the local Italians.
