    Sixty in Sorrento

    16. september 2017, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    02:15 start seemed like a really good idea when we booked this holiday. Never mind holiday started with a bang well 2 bangers and a full English breakfast 😁06:00 out of Manchester for Naples gives a full day. Finally got to the hotel around 14:00 after a chaotic arrival at the airport - I suppose the Italians would say it was highly organised!!. Hotel not really what we were expecting and our balcony is bigger than our room. At least it is warm and very sunny when the clouds go 😎Læs mere

  • It started with a storm...

    17. september 2017, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Grey skies, thunder and rain that's how to day started and breakfast wasn't much better. No porridge and no tea at least the latter the waiter was only joking. These Italians you have to love their sense of humour. Walked into downtown Sorrento and booked a trip for tomorrow. Check in tomorrow to find out where I am spending my birthday.....
    Fortunately the sun arrived later as did the cruise ships.

  • Lunch in Capri & not Lytham Capri

    18. september 2017, Italien ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

    Found a lovely little place for lunch. The Capri Palace where they ran out of star ratings and had to put an L for Luxuriously. Lovely pizzas for the young (only 59) lady wife and myself and then treated to a diabetic unfriendly cake with a candle....... really couldn't believe how kind everyone was there and we only popped in for a look around and a spot of lunch!!!.Læs mere

  • We can't hang around the hotel..

    19. september 2017, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Fortunately by the time we had finished breakfast the scenery was slightly visible and the rain had stopped. Shuttle bus in to Sorrento to get the train Ercolano to visit the remains of Herculaneum after Mount Versuvius blew it's top taking out Pompeii as well on 24th August AD79. Very strange walking down streets from over 2000 year's ago with some buildings and decor largely intact.Læs mere

  • Rest day in Sorrento

    20. september 2017, Italien ⋅ 🌙 17 °C

    Weather told us to take a rest today, so lazy start due to rain and wind. After breakfast walked into Sorrento on the basis the lower down the mountain the less wind there would be.......no!!! And it was just as cold when the sun wasn't shinning. Jayne took advantage and bought something warm after I suggested she might want to run back up the hill to the hotel for her cardigan!!!! So now we have walked virtually every street and looked in every clothes shop in Sorrento 👗👕👖👜👛👚👠👡🛍..... fortunately in the afternoon the weather became better, warmer and sunnier 😎 ending in a nice sunset...Læs mere

  • Safe arrival in Amalfi

    21. september 2017, Italien ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

    Amalfi named after the region but not as pretty as Positano....... Spot of lunch watching the world go around a roundabout, a Bride and Groom have their wedding photos taken in the marina and finally a look around before joining the queue waiting for the bus to take us back to Sorrento........will we make it???Læs mere

  • Final day and final photos

    22. september 2017, Italien ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

    A day of relaxing around the pool before hitting Sorrento for one last time and a late lunch / early dinner over looking the harbour. Spent a delightful couple of hours with new friends from Baltimore. But alas the food wasn't equal to the company. Final walk round and discovering new streets and shops for Jayne to visit. Then back early for the bus to the hotel to make sure we got on. Then our journey home starts at 4 in the morning........can't wait!!!!Læs mere
