A new member of our class this week, a Spanish girl to add to the multicultural mix, and the end of the week saw us saying good bye to our 2 Swiss friends as they were off to enjoy their vacation. We also bid farewell to some other friends from our first class as their month had come to an end.
This weekend we explored the Amalfi Coast visiting Positano, and Amalfi. We took the boat to Positano which was a great way to see this beautiful coastline and get a feel for the geography.
Positano is an extremely picturesque, romantic town built into this very steep part of the coast. With narrow cobblestone streets barely wide enough for scooters, apartments and houses built up not out - in typical Italian style.
The views are stunning and are exactly as one dreams the Amalfi coast should be.

After exploring Positano for a few hours and taking in the breathtaking scenery we took the bus to Amalfi which is half an hour along the coast.
From Amalfi we went for a walk into the mountains behind the town. A friend from school had lent us a book on walking trails so we used this to guide us. Our walk took us through some amazing landscapes, cute little towns, and many lemon farms which were terraced into the side of the mountains. It was a fabulous way to get away from the touristy areas as well as to see the coast from a different perspective.
