After a night of heavy rain and thunderstorms, we again woke up to a damp town but clearing skies. After a leisurely breakfast, we headed down to explore Sorrento. The town was founded more than 2000 years ago, so the roads are narrow and the architecture is quite old. The city is perched on the side of a cliff, with stairs down to a marina and a small beach. We wandered down to the water and back to the main drag of town. There are several narrow streets lined with shops selling the staples of Sorrento, which seem to be limoncella, inlayed wood, and ceramic items. We held off purchasing anything until we had more time to explore. We headed back to the marina and had a wonderful lunch looking out at the boats.
After lunch we trekked back to the villa for an afternoon siesta (fully embracing that part of Italian culture!). Once we woke up, we headed back to town to get food for dinner. Christina made another wonderful dinner, this time consisting of lemon chicken and artichokes. I can certainly get used to eating like an Italian!
Now I’m sitting here typing up the text for the blog; hopefully I’ll have a chance to upload everything soon. Tomorrow we are heading to Capri for a day of exploring and hiking. More to come shortly.
