FIRST IMPRESSIONS of Amalfi Coast, Italy - We Were SHOCKED - Everything to Know Before You Go

Welcome to the beautiful

coast

of Alfi. We are so excited to be back in one of our favorite countries here in Italy and as a bonus we just met up with my parents who will be traveling with us for the next 6 weeks. Here's to traveling with the family. with family love it cheers Sal for the next 3 days we will see if a malfie is worth visiting and if it can be done on a budget we will visit stunning

coast

al towns and see historical ruins fighting for bus and train tickets you are the only one who pushes and of course eats tons of our favorite foods.

Good morning guys, we just arrived in Sarento, actually we are staying in Be which is a short train ride away, it's only €2. We bought our ferry tickets. We head to Maly. I can't wait to see this beautiful coastline. There are only a certain amount of seats upstairs with the view. Hopefully we can sit on the port side so we can see the coast at all times. Tickets cost €18 and are approximately one hour and 45 minutes. I'm so glad I got there early because it's a crazy city, there are so many people waiting. I'm not sure how big the boat is, but we still have about 20 minutes left.

We got here about 45 minutes early, which is too much, just getting there about 20 minutes early. The downside is that you have to wait an hour in the bright sun and we are sweating so much that my sunglasses seem to slide down my nose and Tommy, the poor thing is sweating so much that I'm going to fall in the water, oh my god, we'll let them

know

it is worth it. No, you guys are still having fun, yeah, hey, we're leaving right now. Years go by until Years go by SC, your well, I talk about this, your lips, we get to the post, not many people come down, still a lot of people, but what a beautiful city, hopefully we will explore this later on foot, right now we're gonna keep heading to let's run away to Italy and to a house by the sea until it happens until you go, so only your heart found, it reached M, we made it, we made it, so we just made it hair for a mfie and it's super.

Cute, the buildings are so colorful and pretty, the main avenue is full of souvenir shops and stuff, it's very busy. I think we're going to go see the church and then I think we're going to get on a bus and go. to the next little town of Rell uh, Tommy's mom wants to see him, super cute little town. In fact, he has this kind of entire itinerary for today planned for us, so I think we're going to go there and hike to another little one. people, let us flee to good flight. I can't tell you how many people are around, it's pretty crazy and we're here out of season.

Who would have thought that ex, then we were going to enter the church, but the line is? uh a little too long as you can see so maybe next time I read that 95% of the shops here in MF are women's boutiques my kind of town so it's too busy here let's take the bus and Head to the next city. I think the tickets were only EUR and a half, so not bad. Everyone else had the same idea, so you enjoy your vacation. Still, Dad, finally, when I get out into these crowds, it really starts to get better for me.

The part I like, this is your favorite part, right, yeah, you're the only one saying goodbye to the parents, we didn't make it. No, Tommy's parents did it. I don't

know

if you were filming that, but everyone was pressuring Tommy's mom. I'm like shaking, I was so angry, but anyway we didn't make it, but I don't even know if I wanted to do it anyway, so the beginning has been a little rough, we're here. October during the low season and we are still very busy trying to stay positive, but after all the places we have been in Europe during the summer, this is on a different level, the bus stopped and all the kids from the school rushed. there's no chance any of the tourists have gone up so we're waiting again for another 30 minutes but I'm about to throw in the towel yeah the only thing we would have thrown in the towel by now except we're here with your parents and Your parents went up to the previous bus and they are waiting for us there in the next city, so welcome to the M, welcome, oh thank you, my God, welcome, you did it, wait on the bus, it worked, where was that?

So I had to hold on. the bus and wait while it stops, make sure we get on, you guys did it. Well done, everyone in our little group as a team, we all have one, him, we got on this one, we're going to get down from here on our bus upstairs there were a lot of rooms the people were friendly we saw you get on ahead ahead thank you nice to meet you guys I'm sure we'll see you there what a view we are here we've arrived we made it up here for Rell Tom and Jackie already did a full tour of the place where they already had

everything

without us the sandwich the delato beer is good too so Jackie is telling me showing where they went to get the sandwiches and let's grab one

first

the weight was worth it it's so beautiful up here I love the trees with the background of that city such a beautiful square here too with all the buildings beautiful place worth the wait Great smiles you appreciate your time sandwich and a beer a Corona, yes that's it, they had a beautiful setting and it was actually very affordable.

It was only €1 for the beer and sandwich. Crown from Mexico. You know, this is how cold it was. I don't know what he really did. The only beer in the freezer will be all salami and cheese delicious, great, little lunch break that was much needed. Let's explore the city a little more. It's okay, after all that chaos. I'm a little sleepy, so let's go have a shot of espresso. to wake up beautiful SP, isn't it with the fluidity of the environment? I just finished exploring Rello, a super cute little town, a great place for lunch, but a great starting point for the hike we are about to do. walk an hour down and go to that little town over there what's it called it's called the road of lemons it didn't get your initial reaction so pretty it's so pretty isn't this a beautiful place here we have the olive trees?

I have the grapes, but where the hell are the lemon trees? The lemon road. No, it's these files. They have to be limes, not lemons. Yes, that's a file. I definitely have to bring them home for the Jin and Tonic. There's a little guy we are. going to the chapini the vine comes from up there that in that tree chaos and press we are nowhere right now so where are we going next month we are going to a bakery and their specialty is lemon Delicacies oh that sounds good monori It may be my city favorite, but there's a river that runs through it and it's so calm, oh my god, my mouth is like salivating, how could you choose a pair?

I don't know, okay, from Sal Deaso, we have lemon delights, aren't they beautiful? tit cakes Bo tit cakes Hi mom, how was your

first

bite? Wonderful, very light, airy, lemony, but it's much lighter than I thought it was going to be creamy like a ricotta, really, yes, mmm, I love lemon and this area is known for lemons and us. We are on the path of lemons and a lemon delight, this is really refreshing, it overlooks this beautiful beach and the setting is so perfect, the lemon dessert was so perfect after that walk along the water it looks super attractive, so I could go for a little swim real quick yeah our.

The hike was supposed to end in majori but we're in minori and I think we could call it if we finished we were going to go to poano but we talked to some people today they said it was even crazier than a mfie so I'm not sure if we're going to make it there today, we have to take a bus back to Sento, which is like an hour and 50 minutes from here, so yeah, first of all, it's time to swim though, yeah, there are a little bit of people here, but no That's wrong. I feel like this city would be a perfect place to spend the night, but let's try the sea here in Italy, I feel so good in my Faith.

So Glorious it feels like I'm officially in Italy, now it's also so nice in the water with this . beautiful view all the colorful buildings here and the hills The vineyards yes this is the vi that's right yes ok come back quickly I want to stay here it was a great time swimming to get back to the bus heading to MF de back to sarento and then a train back to bco i think we'll finish the vlog here for today see you tomorrow we're going to explore a little more of this area after all the craziness yesterday we're ready to relax today we're going to go to the beach here in Vico and just spend time swimming in this beautiful blue water, let's go to the beach, let's cook, it will be much more relaxing than yesterday.

I really enjoyed staying in VCO, it's much more affordable than some of those other cities and pretty easy to get to, plus it has a much more local feel. We haven't seen as many tourists here as in some of the other places we visited. congratulations guys, seriously, amazing, perfect, I really appreciate it, what do you think about what should be done? It's really nice, it's really relaxing, it's quiet, there are not many people here. I'm excited to have some time to watch remotely, so we've just been. to a few beaches so far, but they all seem to be rocky or that volcanic platform that is super beautiful.

All the rocks make the water look that crystalline turquoise color. Beautiful day to be at the beach. Hello Kitty, let's walk back. all these steps of about 30 minutes of walking are chained and heading to sento to explore that city, so we just got off the train, we are here in sarento, it is another small city that we are going to explore a little today, this is also another Very economical city option as a base to explore the Amwa coast which is really nice but this place is packed with tourists, yes behind us is the main square, there is a lot of traffic, a lot of people, even the train ride to get there Until here it was super full, shoulder to shoulder, and we are here in October, October, yes, so the high season is already over.

I can't imagine what it will be like in the summer, but yeah, let's walk around and check it out. beautiful boy, I always feel so hard at the bar having a shot of espresso, it's like a crazy concept to me, but I went to Italy, Sal, Italy, guys, Italy, we have come to this little FIA, we wanted to get out of the hustle and bustle and the hustle and bustle and We were a little hungry so we decided to come and buy some sandwiches and we passed by this place and this is a sandwich, it's huge.

Tommy and I got paraham olives, sundried tomatoes and mozzarella cheese and this sandwich was $14 and the beer is like 5 so I mean, affordable for lunch time. I'm going to eat something with some dried tomatoes. Look how good it looks, the dried tomato and olives make it perfectly salty. It's delicious. It's perfect with an Italian beer and also brightens up the key ingredient. it's where it is it's this spicy bread it's the best you've ever had that's you such an amazing sandwich the best we've had in a long time don't miss it when they come to town now let's go back on the train just relax the rest of the day day see you tomorrow we want to show you where we have stayed while we are here in the small town ofco we have a two room balcony two B and four. apartment and each couple only pays $65 per night, which in my opinion is a really great value for this area.

We also have a full kitchen and this amazing view. Good morning guys, welcome to the third day here in Amalfi, last night we had amazing seafood. dinner that is super affordable here at vco. I'll show you the highlights. Now I'm in heaven. The octopus was incredible. It was the best octopus I have ever had. It is rare that you find a seafood restaurant with so much variety. each of them Mar and they are personable so we ate all that delicious fresh seafood for only 88 Heros and also drank 2L of wine, needless to say it was a very fun night.

A couple of things I love about staying here. Vico is not just the location, we are on the north side of the peninsula so it is very easy to access Auli and Postano, which we already showed you, you can also take a train to Naples at the airport and we are on our way. to Pompeii today to see the ruins, we only like a half hour trip and it cost us a couple of euros. Beautiful smile, guys, thank you, so we just scrapped the ruins. We're here on a Sunday and I assume tickets are free today.

Well, usually it's 20 per person. There are going to be a lot more people, so choose whether you want to deal with the crowds or not, but there's nothing better than free. We are about to begin our walking tour of Rick Ste. It is a downloadable audio tour. the app on your phone is free Pompeii was stopped dead by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Pompeii offers the best glimpse of what life in Rome must have been like 2,000 years ago: an entire city of well-preserved ancient ruins is yours to explore 79 There are some people here today Mom, what do you think so far?

I thought it was going to be much more spread out and it's amazing that the whole city is intact and you can see every part of it. I thought there would be some ruins here and there, so I'm surprised by the complexity of it all, water. Well, we just finished what you guys think. Was prettyamazing. We saw frescoes that were over 2000 years old and beautiful, so I guess my only advice. It would be getting here quite early because it's very hot, the place itself is pretty amazing. I mean, I have never seen such huge ruins before and I have preserved them so well and to give them an authentic look of what is Roman and Greek.

Life was actually great. Good thing we got in for free, saved $20 up front, 20 up front, 20, sure, that's another expensive seafood dinner, baby, no joke, so hey, that's a plus, that's a plus. if you're looking a budget, yes there are many ways to spend your money, there are very few to save it, so I asked the waiter if he was busy and he said no. I asked him if every Sunday is free and he told me no, it's not very frequent. that the ruin to have a ticket the ruin is free so today is especially hectic we keep hitting all the places when they are craziest, don't we? but free can't be free so we're starving after visiting those ruins and it's time for some pizza here in Pico and hopefully some ice cream afterwards because it's been a few days and we still haven't had ice cream, which is not acceptable so we are eating pizza at Franco's Pizza R and they also have their own wine.

Greeting greeting The pizza is so delicious we have arugula, tomato and cheese and they are very large portions that we probably could have split one, the parents actually have four different types in theirs,

everything

is delicious, looks like we chose a popular place huh Yes, the line is very long. but that's a good sign, okay everyone, tell me what you have Blackberry, lemon and cocoa, okay, and your favorite, uh, I think I like cocoa better, really yes, surprise mom, what do you have, you have the brownie , okay, that sounds good and littleon K? your favorite lemon oh better than the brownie eh and Sammy I have lemon, it's so good, it's so tart and fresh.

I mean, you can see why this place is packed, it's really good. I have pistachio, which is amazing because they dip it in a bunch of pistachios, a little bit of whipped cream on top and the other kind I have cheesecake and it looks like blueberry cheesecake, we're dripping. This is incredible. I can't believe we waited our last day here at Mico for the ice cream to be unacceptable and everyone agrees with both of my flavors. They are the best cranberry pistachio cheesecake, look at the chunks of cranberry sauce on pistachios. I know it's like ice cream on the go.

What a beautiful sunset at the end of our day. That's all for us here at Ufi. We hope to give you a good idea. It's like traveling here in October, we had our ups and downs but we showed you it can be done on a budget, thanks everyone for watching, don't miss next week when we show you some hidden gyms here in Italy, we appreciate it. Good night everyone, so dad is trying to scare me here. I'm going to try to sneak up on you. He scares him. Damn, he wasn't trying to scare you. You're waiting all that time.

I thought we were in. you are hell
