      Lördag 20/5 Sorrento

      20 Mayıs 2023, İtalya ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Vi vaknade upp till ett regnigt Sorrento och klädde på oss ordentligt redan till frukosten. Pia anförde oss under exkursionen av Sorrento.

      Sorrento har Italiens vackraste kuststräcka som dessutom är klassad som världsarv av UNESCO. Staden har c:a 16.000 invånare.

      Det hade slutat regna när vi gav oss iväg.

      Vi låg på redden så det var tenderbåt in till kajen som gällde. Sorrento ligger en trappa upp, högt uppe på klippan så vi tog hissen upp till stan.

      Vi passerade en kyrka där det förbereddes för ett bröllop och när vi först passerade kyrkan klockan 10:40 så var många av gästerna redan samlade. När vi sedan gick tillbaka till båten, klockan 12:40 var vigseln ännu inte avslutad.

      Det fanns givetvis de vanliga gränderna där det såldes allehanda varor. Mycket med citroner: Limoncello, förkläden, keramik mm. Här fanns nästan inga inkastare så man kunde drista sig att stanna och titta på sådant som var intressant utan att bli
      överfallen.

      Även om det var mulet så var det varmt och jag ångrade mitt klädval med jeans och jacka.

      Pia hade ordnat så att vi fick göra ett besök på bryggan och träffa den finske men svensktalande kaptenen. Vi var där när det var dags att lägga ut och till vår ära gjorde kaptenen en 360 graders sväng, ’a full donut’, innan vi anträdde resan till nästa mål.

      Den sedvanliga underhållningen efter vår middag var återigen den jobbiga stand-up-artisten så vi lyssnade på honom i sådär 5 minuter innan vi gick därifrån.

      Kvällens disko var en timme med bara ABBA-låtar. Pia var uppe på dansgolvet hela tiden vi var där medan vi andra gjorde små inhopp där.
      Det blir nog inte fler disco under resan.

      Naples 3

      20 Mayıs, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      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.

      Winding our way to Sorrento

      21 Temmuz 2022, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F

      We continued along the winding road to another picturesque coastal town, Sorrento. Along the way, I was able to catch a shot of the “human head” rock formation along the cliffside.

      In the middle of the town square is a monument for Torquato Tasso, a very rich man in this area responsible for the growth of Sorrento. From this monument, there are pedestrian streets filled with food vendors, leather goods, and cafés. I tried my first Limoncello sorbet and it was like heaven.

      We were mesmerized by how reasonably priced the leather goods were and had to bring a few new, unique leather bags home. The bright colors in the fabrics were also in Sorrento and I finally found my blue and yellow lemon patterned dress 👗!!! The narrow streets were bustling with people and every so often the smell of lemon or pizza would fill the air. We had limited time and by this point had not eaten, so we walked into a random sandwich shop and had them make “whatever” for us. This whatever turned into an artisanal loaf with prosciutto and fresh mozzarella cheese drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. Delish!

      Ciao Sorrento!

      4 Temmuz 2023, İtalya ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

      Travel day! We said goodbye to Rome this morning. Fun stop on the trip, but we’re ready to stop the hustle from one historic site to the next and just relax again in our final stop of Sorrento. We caught an early (but not too early train). All in all it will be about 3 hours of travel; a short local train ride followed by an hour train to Naples, short layover, and an hour train to Sorrento. Very happy to be navigating with all our luggage now despite the extra weight. Also had a pretty good breakfast at the train station; highlights were the fruit / jam / cheese on a pancake and Becky’s Nutella donut sandwich. She was quite excited not to get any chocolate on her white shirt. Since we splurged for the business tickets on the first train, we also got a decent boxed meal. I get pretty anxious around travel, specifically until I’m on the right plane / train / automobile. Beyond a few minor incidents (local Italian train doors open and close very quickly, and get your beautiful wife stuck in them), the travel was pretty uneventful.

      We’re staying at the Grande Hotel de la Ville, and managed to drop of our bags before lunch. My initial impression of the town is that it felt a little more like the Caribbean than the other places we’ve been in Italy. Not sure I can describe why, though once we started walking around and got to the shopping areas the vibe changed back to feel more European. Lots of tiny streets with tiny shops. Lemons are a big deal here: lemon art, lemon candy, and of course limoncello, of which I see a bunch of in our future.

      After lunch it was time to relax, which is the big theme of our last stop. We left the tiny but well located Rome apartment behind for a hotel with possibly the best rooftop I’ve ever been on. There’s a pool, patio, and bar that are surprisingly pretty empty. We’re 6 stories up and maybe two blocks from the water, but because the coast is reasonably mountainous we can seemingly see for miles. My phone seems to think we’re 200 to 250 feet above sea level. The Gulf of Napoli opens up before us, Mount Vesuvius off in the distance, and a bunch of towns littered across the coast and the peaks. Midjourney describes the view as “a balcony overlooking the ocean, in the style of monsù desiderio, cinematic view, transavanguardia, hikecore”. Couldn’t have said it better myself. After a quick swim, we discovered the roof is a great place to fall asleep to the sounds of waves, boats, Vespas, and Dave snoring.

      We had dinner at a beach club (place you can essentially rent space / chairs by the beach for the day) called Bagni Sant’Anna. Remember how high up our hotel was? Yeah that means dinner was climbing all the way down to the beach. The area is known for lots of stairs, and lived up to its reputation. But the views of the sunset on the way down to and during dinner were impressive. We paid for the ambiance, but the food was quite good as well. Fried calamari, sea urchin risotto, potato crusted cod, and some fish we had never heard of were the standouts. The suckling pig was ok. Apparently in this former fishing village, you should still order the seafood. We rewarded ourselves for making it back up all those stairs with some gelato. The place claimed to be the “worlds best ice cream”, which is probably a stretch, but it was probably the best gelato of the trip.

      And now it’s off to bed so we can get well rested for tomorrows boat day! Ciao!

      Sorrento- Highlight: Pizza Making

      26 Temmuz 2023, İtalya ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

      Positano experienced high winds and every ferry leaving the town was cancelled. Good thing we only planned to take this and didn’t book our tickets yet. We headed back to Sorrento taking two different buses to get there. Luckily it was only +26 today since we have to wait an hour for a late bus outside. We packed in to both buses standing once again holding on for dear life through the swerving roads but made it. Had a very nice pasta lunch then explored the local markets and checked in to our new hotel. Matt is over the moon since it has a tub he kind of fits in. Tonight we joined a pizza making tour group that went to a local farm which was a 20 min drive up the mountain. Here we made pizza dough (that they later feed to their animals since it wasn’t great). Using their dough we successfully launched our dough in the air. We also enjoyed food grown from the farm including their own unlimited red wine, sour cherry juice, the biggest basil you’d ever see, limoncello, charcuterie board and a cake. Matt was labelled “Disaster Matt” since our group had two Matt’s. Overall 10/10 experience and a lovely day.Okumaya devam et

      Pompeii and Sorrento

      9 Mayıs, İtalya ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Our trip to Sorrento was a whirlwind of pasta, gelato and lemoncello. We wanted to buy more but have such a packed bag it's tough to fit! We also stopped through Pompeii on the way to visit the archaeological ruins. The guide was an expert and made it worthwhile. It was hilarious the way the people of pompeii put penis signs everywhere for good luck!Okumaya devam et

      Tag 47 - Über Pompeji nach Sorrent

      25 Ağustos 2022, İtalya ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Heute ging es wieder auf das Fahrrad. Die eeteten etwa 10 bis 15 Kilometer aus Neapel heraus waren für mich die anstrengendsten. Die lag nicht an den vielen Höhenmetern, denn die waren dort Mangelware. Das Problem an Neapel sind die Kopfsteinpflaster, welche fast überall verlegt wurden. Froh diese Strecke überwunden zu haben fuhren sich die letzten Kilometer quasi wie von selbst.

      Kurt nach der Öffnung in Pompeji angekommen zeigte sich bereits, dass die Idee nicht schlecht war. Bereits jetzt waren einige Besucher anwesend. Die Ausgrabungsstätte war dann nochmal einige Hausnummern größer, im Vergleich zu der in Ostia. Einige Zeit bin ich dann durch dir teilweise echt gut erhaltenen Ruinen gelaufen. Überall gab es tolle Dinge etwas zu entdecken. Am meisten haben mich aber die versteinerten Körper fasziniert, welche an vielen Stellen zu finden waren. Für Fans der Antike ist Pompeji aufjedenfall etwas, was man gesehen haben muss. So bin ich nach dem längeren Besuch mit einem sehr positiven Gefühl auf das Fahrrad gestiegen.

      Dieses wurde durch die restliche wunderbare Strecke entlang der Küste, mit einem guten Blick auf die Bucht von Neapel, nur noch gesteigert. Einen kleinen Knicks gab es nur, als mien Navi eine etwa 70 stufige und recht steile Treppe nicht als solches erkannt hatte. Kurzerhand bin ich umgedreht und konnte diese sehr schnell umfahren. Beim heutigen Campingplatz kam ich heute wie erwartet recht früh an. So konnte ich entspannt mein Zelt aufbauen und in den dortigen Pool springen. Abschließend hieß es für mich nur Beine hochlegen und bei angenehmen Temperaturen im Schatten entspannen.

      Morgen geht es dann auf einen Tagesausflug auf die Insel Capri. Dort habe ich vor eine etwas größere Runde über die Insel zu wandern, da diese nicht allzu groß ist. Das könnte gerade mit meinen mittlerweile etwas kaputten und geflickten Sandalen spannend werden, aber wird ist das halt ein noch größeres Abenteuer für mich.

      Auf unserem Weg nach Positano machten wir in Sorrent halt, mit schmalen Gassen mit ihren farbenfreudigen Geschäften, in denen es die für diese Gegend typischen großen Zitronen und alles, was damit zusammenhängt, verkauft werden.Okumaya devam et

      First stop, AMALFI COAST

      27 Temmuz 2022, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      We have arrived in Italy! Staying in a small town right infront mount Vesuvius, which made the enormous unannounced fireworks show a bit alarming on our first night here, hearing loud explosions whilst trying to sleep beneath an active volcano isn’t the most relaxing experience. Sorento is the best town in amalfi by far, way more relaxed and a lot more to do!Okumaya devam et
