    Sorrento - the original!
    A beautiful day in Sorrento. We travelled by ferry which was lovely, but would have been better without haziness, and with sunshine sparkling on the blue waters of Bay of Naples - but you can't have everything I guess!
    The port at Sorrento is at the base of towering cliffs, but fortunately someone thought to put in a lift! Lots of people sunning themselves in the beach clubs and enjoying the waters - made me wish I'd brought my bathers (I have been lugging them around for 4 weeks!).
    Not surprisingly Sorrento was bursting with tourists, but we entered the fray with gusto enjoying a bit of retail therapy. And we found a lovely restaurant tucked away off the tourist trail.
    Ferry trip back to Naples later in the afternoon, and after visiting some key locations- the Galleria ( which does look more than a little like Milan's galleria and even a bit like Melbourne's Block Arcade) and Piazza Plebiscito (which does have a passing resemblance to St Peter's Square) I took the chance to add to our presepe collection.
    Dinner in after another long day.
