After saying bye to another traveller from Australia, Anthony, after the train ride to Sorrento, a quick adventure around town and dinner, we wandered around the Sorrento - a stunning city, beautiful and elegant.
Sorrento:
We awoke the next morning to catch a ferry to Capri. Here we walked across the top of the island. A chair to the top provided excellent scenery. The Blue Grotto was next on the agenda. It is a cave that when you enter by boat, lying down, the light in the cave is a stunning bright blue. The tour is quick, mere minutes, but something I will never forget. We then went for a quick walk and discovered a swimming location where you could jump off the rocks in the aqua blue clear water. Amazing.
Capri:
From there we took a bus ride back to the main area for a ferry back to Sorrento. Ryan decided to go Scuba Diving whilst I had a look through Sorrento.
Early the next morning, we checked out and took our bags to the train station to catch a bus that headed to the Amalfi Coast. The twisting roads that travel along the coastline that can hardly fit a bus is well worth the journey. Our bus ride took us to Amalfi, where after a quick lunch, we walked to the next town, Atrani, in which we had our accommodation booked. A hostel run by Italian brothers was beautiful and relaxed. Here we decided to slow things down and headed to the beach which was a very short walk down the road. A lot of beaches are a bit different than back in Australia - gravel or small stone line the beaches rather than sand in most cases.

Atrani:
After a few hours there on the beach, it was a very short walk back into Atrani to pick up a few things for dinner, such as meats, olives, cheese and bread, to head back along the rocks. Later than night another wander around Amalfi was in order before retiring to the accommodation to chat with some fellow travellers.
The next morning we headed down the road to catch a bus to Salerno, for a train to Rome. With a train leaving quickly, we bundled on and headed to the capital.
