Eats awesome food on
a Mediterranean Cruise. Gets food poisoning. #BadLuckAli
These pictures were
taken before I actually got sick later in the day. Apparently what I assumed
was sea sickness this morning turned out to be something entirely different. However, as terrible
as I felt, it was still easy to find the beauty in the Amalfi Coast.
Positano
is perhaps the most-visited Amalfi Coast city, but it was a good distance away
from the port. Instead, we chose to visit Ravello, a secluded town that sits
high above the coast. After a 20-minute taxi ride on winding roads (yes, all
while feeling the beginning effects of food poisoning), we arrived in the
center of Ravello.
On one side of the
town, you could see the sparkling waters below. From the other, there were
rolling hills resembling the countryside of Chianti. This varying landscape
mimics all of Italy – no two places are exactly the same.
After falling asleep
on a town bench and taking a rough ride on the tender back to the boat, it was
lights out for me. I wish my time on the coast had been longer and under
different circumstances, but it just wasn’t in the cards.
If I ever get the
chance to return to Italy again, the Amalfi Coast is at the top of my list.
