Ravello, Italy, what a truly wonderful, long-lasting memory. To get there from Sorrento (where we were staying) took two ferries and a bus up a mountain through some of the most amazing scenery I have ever seen. The trip there and back is worthy of 2 more posts, including the drive back to Sorrento from Amalfi on the famous Amalfi Coast highway. For now we concentrate on Ravello. The drive up the mountain to the town is absolutely beautiful. The vistas of the Mediterranean are amazing, the view of the town from below, picture postcard perfect. The views along the road are amazing as well. We were only able to spend a few hours here as schedules would not allow us more time. This was unfortunate as it was definitely worth an overnight stay. Absolutely breathtaking at every turn.

Now you are killing me. I always wanted to go to Italy.
I guess it would be a bad time to point out the countdown clock on the sidebar then! It is counting down our departure to Spain and Portugal. Italy is spectacular. We spent a week in Rome and a week in Sorrento. We also spent a day in Florence. We could easily retire in Sorrento. My header picture is Mt Vesuvius across the Bay of Naples from Sorrento. I took it off the balcony of our B&B, we woke to that every morning.
It is amazing. Beautiful. I’m happy for you, and I can see it in a way from your blog without having to worry about being hit on by all the Italian guys. 😉
The guys are different there. Leering is allowed which kind of makes north Americans a bit leery of the leerers. It is so obvious but no one pays any mind if it.
It is a beautiful place. Leering and all.
Definitely. We need, no must, go back someday.
You probably will. Write about it.
By the way my friend, I need to do the smiley face thing now. Catch you tomorrow I hope.
Night 🙂
You’ve sold me! Absolutely stunning!
It’s so beautiful it is impossible to take a bad picture. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi,
Fantastic photos, looks like it was a lovely trip.
The best so far
Why do all the truly beautiful places have to be so difficult to get to? I guess that’s what keeps them looking beautiful – no tourists. I’d love to visit these out of the way places. Great pictures.
There is some truth to that. This part of the world has it all. The food the wine, the scenery, the ambiance. I’d go back there in a minute
Beautiful, and great pics. How much of the town exists outside of ceramics and tourism?
You pretty much nailed. Tourism is pretty much year round though. They also have some major musical events in the summer.
Ravello is easy to remember and hard to forget.
Indubitably.
