Ciao Bella Italy

Italy - gelato & affogato's yes please!

Ive been to a few places in Italy before and to be honest the first time I came here I wasn't that impressed, don't get me wrong it was good but I was expecting more. Then I came back and saw some of the coastline... OMG! Now one of my favourite places in this world, hands down Amalfi coast, Positano, Sorrento & Capri should be on the bucket list.
 Keep in mind it can be pricey thats why when I went here I stayed in Salerno which is quite close to Amalfi without the price tag. Its a great place to stay if you just want somewhere that isn't going to cost you an arm and leg and is central to everything. Close to the train, buses and ferries that take you to major cities or along the coast.
 My favourite day in Italy was definitely visiting Capri and probably still one of my favourite places that I visited on this trip. Capri is a small island just off the coast that you can easily catch a ferry across to, but make sure you go as early as possible as you will definitely want to spend at least a full day here.
My day here consisted of firstly an affogato of course (10euro later) and exploring the island, it is honestly so so beautiful, cute little shops, restaurants and incredible views all along the way. The walk to the top of the hill is worth it and plenty of stops along the way that offer spectacular views. The beach is that crystal clear water, however there is no sand only rocks, which are all white so it makes the water look even more perfect although they are not the comfiest to lay on.

 There are boats also that run all day that take you out around the island to check out some of the highlights, but I recommend if you have enough people definitely hire your own boat. Thats what we did and I honestly had one of the best days of my life. From going inside the blue grotto to swimming through the green grotto, the whole island has so much to see and do!
