8:15 p.m. – On our way back to the hotel I see a stand selling lemon granita, so of course we have tot stop to taste the local speciality! $3.33
11:45 a.m. – It’s about time to head out! We leave from Gatwick Airport at 2:45 p.m., so aim to head out about three hours ahead of time. My husband calls a black cab to get us to Victoria Station to take the Gatwick Express which is an express train to get from Central London to the airport12:05 p.m. – Manage to hop on the Gatwick Express without waiting too long.
7:30 p.m. – We arrive in Naples and go through passport control. Once we get our bags, and before we pick the rental car, I stop for a slice of pizza to tide our daughter over until we get a real dinner8:15 p.m. – Finally on the road! Because we were three hours past the time of our original reservation, Sixt rental car cancelled our rental. Did not know they would do that, but it ends up not being a problem and we get a nice BMW station wagon as our ride.
6:00 p.m. – Sorrento is known for its excellent seafood, so we plan to head down to the Piccola Marina for dinner. We get ready to go down the hill, and see that there are about 20 additional people who are also waiting for the bus, very different scene than this morning. After waiting about 20 minutes, and realising we won’t make it on this bus, we bite the bullet and grab a taxi into town.6:45 pm. – We arrive at the Piccola Marina, and the dining options are underwhelming.
11:30 a.m. – We are checked out and begin the drive along the Amalfi Coast to Maiori. WOW – the scenery is stunning but it is not a drive for the faint hearted. Loads of scooters, cars passing each other on windy mountain roads, but gorgeous scenery. My husband loves to drive, so he is in his element. Originally we had wanted to stop in Positano or Amalfi for lunch, but the drive is so intense, and parking so difficult we decide to wait until we get to our hotel for lunch.
8:45 a.m. – By now we are all on the dock – there are about 10 of us on the boat, an older couple, about three couples on their honeymoon, the captain, and us. The boat is beautiful and much nicer than I expected it to be. As we slowly make our way across the coast, the captain shouts out each of the different villages we pass. It is so cool to see the coast from this vantage point and we take a ton of pictures.
