 Today we took our fourth boat trip and am convinced it's one of the best ways to see the Almafi coast.  The coast is so picturesque and you don't have to deal with the traffic and chaos of the one small road along the coast.

Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast

 Relaxing boat ride to Sorrento and actually got off at the right stop.  Love this city on the Bay known for its high cliffs, lemons and fresh seafood.   Hotel Lorelei Londres up on the cliff  behind me where Steve and I used to have grilled calamari overlooking the Bay of Naples and Mt. Vesuvius.  Spectacular view and great memories!  Now its a 1 star Michelin restaurant.                        Presepi (nativity scene) at the Cattedrale dei Santi Fillippo e Glacomo Hotel Lorelei
