Amalfi Coast

We spent a week camping in Sorrento, which turned out to be a great base for doing everything in the area. Sorrento itself is beautiful, but very busy in high season. The weather is always hot and with very little rain at this time of year the Brits and Northern Europeans are everywhere. We did a day trip to the Isle of Capri and went on a round the island boat trip; including a quick duck ( literally - the entrance is very small)into the blue grotto on a rowing boat. We travelled along the famous coastal drive from Sorrento to Amalfi by bus. It must be one of the most amazing stretches of coastline in Europe. We did a day trip to Pompeii. Ever since Std 6 Latin class I have wanted to go there and now we finally did. It is really an amazingly well preserved archealogical city and so extensive. We also did a day trip to Napoli. The beaches are pretty,but small and very cramped due to the coastline of mainly cliffs. I think the best way to go to the beaches and see the coastline properly would be to have your own boat.
