Germany and Italy 2023...Day 11: Praiano

We woke up after enjoying a very cold room with great air conditioning. The heat wave continued to follow us and it was so hot while we were on the Amalfi Coast. We had a wonderful breakfast at our hotel with amazing views. 


Lemon trees surrounded our room!


We decided we would go for a nice walk around Praiano before it got too hot. We had planned on hiking the Path of the Gods, but with the heat, we decided that it would not be enjoyable since it is completely exposed to the sun. 


Beautiful Praiano. That is Positano off in the distance.


Beautiful views on our walk



As busy as the Amalfi Coast is, it sure is gorgeous!


We walked up and down many flights of stairs. There was an area where we were and we heard the sound of hooves hitting the pavement and sure enough, it was a train of mules approaching us.

We decided that we would enjoy the day around our hotel pool and our balcony off of our room. We had such a gorgeous view and we felt that we should take advantage of it.

I rarely eat chips at home, but love to indulge in them as a snack while we are in Europe!



Aperol Spritz with a view


Loving our time in Praiano!


We walked up to the pool in time to have lunch and some drinks before cooling off in the pool.


My limoncello spritz was delicious!


We enjoyed a Caprese salad, which I had honestly never tried before. I learned on this trip that I do like tomatoes!

More gorgeous views



Living my best life!


The views from our hotel were absolutely stunning.

Ken loved hanging at the pool with me.

I wish I could say that we had a wild night, but that would be a lie. We found a spot that would make takeaway pizzas and ordered a pizza to enjoy in our room with a bottle of wine. We had a cocktail while we were waiting and ended up talking to some Americans from California. They had upcoming travel to Munich and enjoyed our tips about our favorite city. We ended the night with drinks on our balcony. It was a lovely Amalfi Coast day. We were excited for the upcoming day since it would be our private boat day!
