The Amalfi Coast: David Style

We took an unbelievable tour of the Amalfi Coast today. David, our driver for the day, took us from Sorrento down to Amalfi with a stop in Positano. This is some of the most amazing and beautiful landscapes we have ever seen. Imagine cliffs that raise 1,000 feet right out of the cobalt blue water. The tour ran on a winding road that was built 900 years ago and runs along the side of the mountains and cliffs with the road nervously hugging the edge of the mountainside at all elevations. David knew the route like the back of his hand, pulling over several times to allow us to get out at the spots with the best views and to take a few photos. David is a native of Sorrento and took us to the top of Sorrento where you could see both bays at the same time: The Sorrento Bay and the Amalfi Bay. Completely unbelievable! We made a few shopping stops as well. Came back to the hotel for some needed rest and then a little more shopping with Mom.

Will try to post the Amalfi photos tomorrow.

All is good. Thanks for staying in touch. We really like hearing from everyone.

Ciao!

Violet and Grace
