    Sorrento

    July 18, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    We jumped on a ferry this morning and moved ourselves across the Napoli Gulf to Sorento. We arrived and after climbing up the cliffs from the ferry terminal, we set off to explore the old town. It wasn't quite midday, but it was hot enough so we decided to test out the Aperol & Campari Spritz at a local bar.

    After we were refreshed, we went back to the cliffs for a view of the gulf and the people enjoying the water below. Our hotel is a little way out of town, so we caught a bus for 30 minutes to get there. The hotel is pretty sweet with a great view - you can see a little corner of Capri and all the way out to Ischia.

    An afternoon nap later and it was time to head out for dinner. We had an awesome meal, starting with stuffed courgette flowers, followed by lasagne and clam tagliatelle, and finished off with cannoli and gelato. We had a great view of the sunset from the restaurant, but we opted to head back to our hotel to enjoy the last of the sunset there. We even managed to capture the exact moment the sun dropped below the horizon.

    Looking forward to more adventures tomorrow, and definitely getting into that water!
