Sorrento

📌 Amsterdam -> Naples was a hoot thanks to the baggage handlers telling me to put my bag in oversize and therefore it was never loaded 😂 Arriving in 35 degrees southern Italy with no other clothes was fun, lucky I had dad's shorts, my underwear and then we went out and brought an extra tee. Baggage eventually was delivered 48 hours later, a little annoying but after all, being in Italy bagless was better than being at work!

📌 We stayed around the Naples station as a late arriving plane meant getting to Sorrento was hard. Mum, Dad and Chloe were thrilled to get into the secure comfortable accom after walking the sketchy midnight streets with fireworks going wild above ☺️ We made our way down to Sorrento the next day on a loud chaotic train, it was a fitting welcome to southern Italy so far. Lunch however already set us up for the next 6-7 days, a very authentic pizzeria in Piano where the waiter was super friendly and the food was incredible, mum and dad were already sold!

📌 We left the parents to their own devices and met up with Britt and Spencer for drinks, dinner and long awaited catch up. Another great meal that you couldn't fault, the fresh simple ingredients make it every time, particularly the tomatoes 🤤 We organised and awesome day out with them, hiring a boat to head out and around Capri with lunch also on the island. We were glad we had a skipper, as the sea was fairly rough and heavily trafficked. A little bit of a nauseating journey to start became much butter as the day went on. The scenery was amazing, the weather great and the water unreal to swim in, which included a few swims into some caves. Capri was beautiful but wildly expensive, our lunch of 2 mains, water and 2 sides was $250 AUD 🥴. They definitely hid us (in our bathers) in the corner away from the rich people 😂

📌 Our last day back with mum and dad was awesome, the bus ride out to Positano, although difficult to get on due to the crowds was unreal! The views on the narrow coastal roads were unmatched, I've never seen anything like it. We wandered around Positano, had a great lunch at another quality pizzeria before heading back on the ferry, which provided more incredible views of the coast. Another great day, you can definitely see why the region is so popular.Leia mais
