An American On The Amalfi Coast

Our ride from Venice to the Amalfi Coast
View from our balcony
The cutest little house in the Amalfi cliffs. Fresh grapes growing around the entrance. #Jealous

At the Pompeii Ruins
 Our final destination was on the Amalfi Coast & it was absolutely dreamy. The quaint houses built into the cliffs, lemon trees everywhere & the breathtaking blue of the Mediterranean, it was heaven on earth. The perfect way to end a vacation, relaxing on one of the most beautiful coasts in the world. For 1 day we drove to Pompeii to explore the ruins & the other 2 days was just chilled & took in the beauty around us. I am ready to go back!

Secret stairway that led from our condo all the way down the cliffside through the houses & down to the beach
Angry Mr. because we had 300 stairs to go :)

Our final destination at the bottom of the 1,000 steps.

Good bye Tumness the cat!
 Oh Italy how I miss you! Until next time. I did throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain, so hopefully the myth is true & I will return back to it soon. Fingers crossed.

  1. Oh wow, this looks so gorgeous! I just finished a weekend trip in Manarola, Italy which looks shockingly similar, except a little more home-town feel. Everything looks dreamy though! So glad you had such a fun trip. :]

  2. Wow this is really something Scuttle. How I wish that I could also go to these kind of places! I am going to show this to my friend and ask her if she would like to have a tour to Amalfi. I also like the stairway of your condo it looks classy and vintage!

  3. Wow this a nice place to stay, I wonder when will be the right time to visit and have a tour in Pompeii. I also love the place where you stayed in. It is romantic and very serene, I do hope that I can also arrange my unit at tanjong rhu condo and design it the same way with your room guys.
