After a crazy day of exploring on Saturday, we were both ready to completely relax on Sunday. We slept in until about 9:30 and had a lazy breakfast on the patio. Our biggest excursion was a trip into town to buy laundry soap and toilet paper. After that, I finally had a chance to sit down and post some of the content to this blog. The internet connection is too slow to upload any pictures, but I’m glad to be at least posting text of our adventures. After tiring of the dawdling wireless signal, we sat in the sun and read our books until our stomachs started to rumble. Pepe had impeccable timing as he brought us roasted chestnuts and pastries that we enjoyed while taking in the view.
Lunch today was a very special treat. We went to a restaurant called Il Buco, the only Michelin-rated restaurant in Sorrento. In what can only be described as a “food experience “, we enjoyed an amazing array of Italian spenders for over two hours. Christina had ravioli stuffed with octopus, followed by lamb ribs. I had a potato stuffed with cheese and bacon, followed by a steak with apple glaze. To top it off, I got a half-bottle of local red wine. By the time we left the restaurant, we both felt like we could barely walk back up to the villa (despite our wallets being significantly lighter!).
After an afternoon siesta, we spent more time reading before heading back into town for gelato and phone calls home. After figuring out where to buy phone cards and how they work in the payphones, it was great to connect to family back home.
