If you ever have the chance to travel to Italy, one place you absolutely MUST visit is the Amalfi Coast. Tyler (the hubs) and I were fortunate enough to be able to honeymoon there, and it was hands down one of the best places I have ever visited.
We began our trip in Sorrento which is a little town located right on the Amalfi Coast and known for their phenomenal Limoncello.

Yes, the lemons were really this big....so I guess you see why Sorrento is known for its Limoncello!

| Limonoro in Sorrento |
Limonoro is a limoncello factory located right in the heart of Sorrento and this lemon liquor oh so tasty! Limoncello is also perfect to sip on after a meal as it acts as a digestive.

| Societa Operaia | Sorrento |
Above is a local meeting place in downtown Sorrento....the mural is just gorgeous don't you think?
Not far from Sorrento is Pompeii, which will easily take a full day to visit, and what better way to visit the remains of Mt. Vesuvius's wrath than with an Italian picnic?

| Local Deli in Sorrento |
Tyler and I made a pit stop at this quaint deli in the heart of Sorrento before our day trip to Pompeii. We made sure to get their wonderful cured meat, fresh cheese and bread, a small bottle of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) and to wash it all down, a bottle of Prosecco!

Since that picnic day, Tyler and I have come up with our own version of bringing a little bit of Italy home...
 |
| Italian Sub |
Recipe ::
(1) Hoagie Bun {we like Pepperidge Farm}
Mayo {Bama or Duke's is oh so yummy}
Cheese {Provolone or Muenster is a nice pairing}
Pepperoni
Genoa Salami, Capicola, Prosciutto
Lettuce
Dried Basil and/or Oregano
Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
Drizzle of EVOO
ENJOY!
Wash down this tasty Italian sub with sparkling water, or if you're feeling really Italian, a carafe of white wine or Prosecco! Afterwards enjoy a piping hot espresso or sip on a little Limoncello.

| WINE!!! |
Literally they brought out an entire carafe of wine with every meal.....
Another stop you must make while visiting the Amalfi Coast is Positano, a quaint boating town right on the coast.....and you have to take a bus, or if you're really daring, a scooter, to get there...

| Ride along Amalfi Coast |
You may not want to look down on this exhilarating ride down the Amalfi Coast full of hairpin turns on a road built originally to only fit mules....
Loved the detail on these steps!

Make sure to visit the markets before you leave!
I could fill this post with pages and pages of beautiful pictures along the Amalfi Coast, but there just isn't enough room!! So, I hope you have gotten a little peek of why you simply must put the Amalfi Coast on your list of top places to visit!!
