Holiday Diary: The One Where He Proposed
A few weeks ago Ed and I packed our (overweight) bags and jetted off to beautiful Amalfi. You might remember we were there a couple of years ago for 3 nights when we were visiting different parts of Italy, and we loved it so much then that we figured we would go back and spend the entire holiday there. BLISS.

However, little did I know about the plot twist that ensued - Ed proposed on the first day we were there! Safe to say we celebrated and over-treated ourselves for the remainder of our 2 week stay.

We stayed in a gorgeous little Air BnB which I will link here, however be warned there are 115 steep steps to get up to it. It may not seem like a lot but in 34 degree heat and/or after a bottle of vino, they are not fun. ANYWHO.

Beaches
We spent the majority of the time chilling, on the beach, eating amazing Italian food and drinking amazing Italian wine. As it was August, the beaches were pretty full, and the prices for sunbeds/umbrellas were through the roof - the cheapest being €50 at Silver Moon for the day, also not allowed to bring your own snacks/drinks, so if you want to eat or drink anything you have to pay more on top of that!

My advice would be to walk the 10 minutes to Atrani Beach, just around the corner from Amalfi, for a much quieter and much cheaper beach experience, where you can bring your own food/drinks to the beach and not pay a small fortune to lie on the beach for the day. Atrani itself is a gorgeous little town with some adorable family-owned restaurants and bars, with a gorgeous view of the water.

That is just a snapshot (loaded with photos) of the amazingness that is Amalfi.
Let me know if you're planning a trip there any time soon/next summer or have already been, I would love to know! And if you have any questions/need any tips or advice then comment here or drop me a DM on Insta. Also check out my Amalfi highlight over there, it's my fave.
Thank you for reading as always,
