Where I stayed

So I took the train from the Cinque Terre to Naples. Then, a little commuter train from Naples to Sorrento. I stayed at a 5-Star resort of a hostel called Seven Hostel. Then, the next day, I took the bus from Sorrento down around to the Amalfi coast. The bus ride alone was worth it. You are weaving along the edge of a cliffside road with spectacular views that drop 600 feet below you. I remember on the way back sitting next to a woman who kept her eyes closed the entire time. And to be honest, if the bus did have a blowout, no one would survive.

Again, this hike was great. I traveled with 2 Canadians I met at the hostel, and we had a great time. The hike up to the Monestary (944 steps) was well worth the time and effort. Pics below.
