Amalfi- Amalfi Coast

There isn't much to say about Amalfi except that the pictures speak for themselves. The drive to the hotel was along the cliffs of the Amalfi coast, which may sound beautiful and romantic, but Ryan and I both got motion sickness and a headache for the remainder of that day. Our second day, we went down to the beach to relax. After walking a million miles in Rome and Pompeii in 90 degree heat, I was ready for a break. We have no pictures of the beach because we didn't want to get sand in our nice new camera...much to our surprise it was a pebble beach. We spent the whole day on the beach, relaxing, playing in the water with little fish that kept kissing my ankles, and collecting a bunch of pebbles to take home. It was pretty much an amazing day. The third and last day, we went down to the town of Amalfi. While we were there a huge storm blew through. That wasn't fun, but risking our lives for a picture of the storm was exciting. I hope to one day go back to the Amalfi Coast and spend a whole week there.
