Ahhh, the Amalfi Coast in Italy. What a wonderful place and wonderful country.
Italy, one of the most alluring getaways in Europe, is known for its mouth-watering cuisines, rich and tasty pasta sauces, world-class- artists, beautiful landscapes, neo-classical civilization, and not to forget the famous Italian gelato. Having traveled to Italy probably over 30 times in my life, I am always drawn to the incredible architecture, historical ruins, and the people that live life less ordinary. We should all live like Italians. Working to live, not living to work. Kati and I always seem to be heading back as there is always more to explore in Italy.
One of our favorite spots is the Amalfi Coast. Not just Positano, what most people think of when they think the Amalfi Coast, but rather the entire coast (we actually do not recommend Positano as it is too expensive and too touristy). We typically stay in Praiano which is Positano’s less crowded, just as beautiful neighbor.
The Amalfi Coast is a long stretch from Sorrento south to Amalfi. There are many little towns and villages along the way. We recommend staying there and spend an afternoon in Positano. You will get a break on the cost and the views are just as spectacular.
Here are 10 photos to inspire you to take your next trip to the Amalfi Coast:

Our Final Word
The Amalfi Coast is like a dream and when you are there you really start to live the dolce vita. Get settled, rent a Vespa and explore the coast. Around every turn is an amazing view and every town is filled with history and great restaurants. We will be heading back so see you there.

Tsavo: A true “Out of Africa” Adventure
We stayed in a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills. But that isn’t really the start of our adventure. It really started in Mombasa and getting picked up by our guide/driver Sammy. He will be with us for the next 6 days from Mombasa to Tsavo to Amboseli National Park and then onto Nairobi. Sammy is friendly, easy to talk to and knowledgeable about not just mammals but about all the birds that we are seeing. This was especially important to Kati who loves to photograph all the birds in Africa. It took us a couple of hours to get to our lodge in Tsavo East and the time went by quickly.
We stayed at Satao Camp and were lucky enough to get the tent closest and facing a very popular water hole. Like watching “Animal TV”, over the next couple of days and nights we saw herds of elephants, antelope, giraffes, hippos and warthogs walk out of the bush and come to this waterhole. This was the start of our adventure, and we were happy to be back in Africa.
Positano is indeed beautiful. Nice work guys and thanks for sharing all this lovely photos.
It is along with the entire Amalfi Coast.
