Arrived in sorrento at Grand riviera hotel, cost 1536.00 free breakfast.. this place was amazing. marble floors, our room overlooked the sea with a private balcony, I loved it. bed was 100 percent more comfortable. This place is a bit o further to walk but did a pretty good job. WE walked around sorrento on the 12th and just enjoyed a nice meal at a place called Sugo. Really good food, but yes a seat charge, I tried my first glass of wine (yuck) tasted off or it was just me. I don't drink at all but had to try it. The next day (13) we got a taxi (20) to ferry station bought tickets to Amalfi, FYI I planned on positano but heard it was harder to walk. I loved Amalfi, tons of shopping, great restaurants. The ferry ride was 1.5 hours on a great smooth day. Did encounter some rude people trying to jump lines etc. Didn't ruin my trip. We ate gnocchi and risotto, can't remember name up a long street up high. anyways, did some shopping, had gelato (amarena) best we had so far. We were going to go to the church but charging 9 dollars PP so we skipped it. We had arrived early like 10.30 we left at 4, it was so packed their like sardines in a can. (tip anything you do must be done early to avoid stressful crowds). We ferried back, had room service from our hotel, ( it had 7.30 pm dinner start so we did early room service instead.) The breakfast here was awesome twice the others, but they watched you like hawks, thinking you would steal a croissant LOL. The 14th My birthday we had booked a tour to Isle of Capri. It was booked thru Viator( capri/blue grotto). cost 366.00 We met our guy Luigi at the ferry station (taxi 20) he was worth this trip. funny, informative, a blast. we ferried over but it was a very cloudy day, he warned us the blue grotto might be closed and it was, disappointed but they arranged a separate boat tour around island, saw the grotto, its 3 feet high and the water was crashing in it. The boat was nice and we also went to Julius Casear Gardens, took small bus to anacapri to top, to windy to do the chair lift. He gave us a few hours to shop and eat. shopping was fun and food was amazing had my first seafood, shrimp and calamari. awesome. We took bus down to capri continued
