I can't remember if I blogged about yesterday. I don't think I did! We went down to the water after breakfast and we roamed around. My knees hate me, since we had to walk all the way down to Amalfi, which was 800 steps. Really beautiful, and we saw soooo many lizards.
We had a meh lunch of pizza and then went in search of a beach. We didn't find a nice one, but we found a BOAT! We rented a boat for 4 hours and anchored it along different parts of the sea. It was super choppy, and I thought we would capsize. We went swimming (freezing cold) and ate our leftover pizza and tanned in the boat. It was amazing, and really beautiful! They just gave us a boat and told us how to go forwards and backwards. No other instructions... A little sketchy but oh well, it was worth it and we had a great time.
We found the cat that scared Michael the night before, and we hung out with him for a bit until he fell off a roof and ran away. Then we went to Gerry's for dinner again. It was delicious. We recommend it highly to anyone going to Amalfi.
This morning we opted to take a boat to Sorrento instead of puke on a bus. I'm so happy we did that. I legitimately would have puked. On the bus ride down from Pogerola, I looked at Michael, nodded, and he knew what I meant. No more buses today.
Sorrento is incredibly beautiful. Michael calls it the Beverly Hills of Italy. Our hostel is actually more like a 4 star hotel, and the guy at the front desk was so helpful and told us a great place to eat, called Chanteclere. The owner of this place looks like Alec Baldwin (not even joking. Italian doppelgänger). Lunch was 4 euro for a primi, 5 for a secondi. It was amazing and the owner told us exactly what to order, and was so friendly. He talked to us all meal and it was amazing.
The rest of the day was just wandering, enjoying the sights, and going into tiny shops. The beaches are nice, but we didn't swim. There's a cool store here that you buy sandals and a guy makes them for you in the shop in 5 minutes. Basically any sandal you want!
We didn't want to take our chances, since apparently the food in Sorrento is mediocre, so we went back to the same place for dinner. We met a newlywed couple from Washington there, and they were completely wasted and the guy works for NASA. Fun times all night. Now I'm exhausted and full from another great meal that tasted like my imaginary Italian grandmother would make.
