So, here we are - 14 of us in a 7 bedroom/7 bath villa near the town of Nerano - 127 steps from the water. It's been quite the excursion to get here - planes, trains and automobiles! I left Chicago and got on the train to O'Hare - while checking in and heading to security I was notified that my flight out of the USA was cancelled and at that point I knew the fun was about to begin. After numerous attempts United got me on a flight through Munich and eventually in Rome. Arriving at the Rome airport around 3pm, I grabbed my luggage and was ready to join the crew - next up, load 2 vans and start the drive. Here we go.
 |
| Yes, this is what I'm taking and eventually it will be somewhat packed and organized. It's going to be a sundress kind of trip. |
 |
| I'm prepared - you name it I'm ready - all the products we need for 9 days in Italy. |
 |
| Here's the train part... the adventure begins! |
 |
| We stopped for dinner - these are the beach houses, loved the colors against the blue water. |
 |
| What a view! Sat down for dinner outside Nerano - not sure if it's due to the long day of travel or our "hangry mode"...but it was the best pasta I've had. |
 |
| A little house wine - why, yes I will! We may have gone through 8 bottles at dinner.. maybe? |
 |
| Darin ordered a large beer - quiet delicious and hit the spot. |
 |
| This was my dinner - homemade pasta (I will attempt when I get back to Chicago) with shrimp and mushrooms in a white cream sauce. |
 |
| Limoncello! Perfecto - best way to end the meal and toast to our wonderful friendships and being in the Amalfi Coast. |
 |
| Nothing needs to be said here - this is AMAZING!!! |
 |
| Our drivers pulled over to show us how beautiful the Amalfi Coast is.. this was after 28 hours of travel. |
 |
| And another... |
 |
| Took this picture from our villa - we have a beach and little restaurant with the best caprese panini. |
 |
| Peroni anyone? |
 |
| After hours in the sun we took a small walk to grab an American and Prosecco.... this life doesn't get old. |
 |
| First view in our villa - tomorrow I will post more. We didn't arrive until 10pm last night so the photos were limited. |
 |
| The tile in a bedroom - just find it devine! So, life in the Amalfi is going to be good - thanks for following my adventure throughout the Amalfi Coast, Isle of Capri and can't wait to get Positano and look for ceramics. xo |
