Continuing from the other post, we met Florence4Fun at the train station and after traveling all day we boarded another bus for a 7 hour trip to the Amalfi Coast. On the way there we came to the realization that we were probably the most mature people on the trip. Most of the "kids" were aggravating but I won't go into detail because we are trying to forget them. This bus trip was the most grueling 7 hours of our lives but we kept a smile on our faces and we finally made it to the hotel at 3:00 in the morning. The best part about this was we had to wake up in 4 hours to eat breakfast then board the bus for the Island of Capri. It was pretty amazing especially the Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto is a cave on the shore of the island that only has two sources of light which lights the water up, the entrance and from the a whole in the bottom. We had to board a different smaller boat that we were on and lay down in it so we could get pulled through this small hole. It was definitely an unforgettable experience.
The next day arrived and we were well rested and off to the beach town of Positano. The group had a free day of shopping and beach time and by the end of it we were all ready to get back to the hotel so we could get ready to go out in Sorrento. They took us to the heart of Sorrento which looked like an upscale Bourbon Street. We all hung out at a bar called the English Inn which was awesome except for the Italians creeping on the American girls. A few drinks and shots later it was time to head home.
Today was our last day and we were headed to Pompeli. The story behind the city is very interesting. In the year 79 AD it was a thriving Roman city. One day out of nowhere the famous Mt. Vesuvius volcano exploded. The smoke, ash, and gas flooded the city within hours and the city was buried under 9 ft. volcanic ash. The city was found by archiologists and was excavated and they found that almost the whole city was preserved including humans and pets. This is a must see for anyone traveling to Europe.
The weekend finally came to an end and we were on our way HOME once again.
(Sorry for any misspelling. Been up for way to long.)
