Sorrento

After days of whirlwind sightseeing I was looking forward to relaxing on the Amalfi Coast.  From Naples to Sorrento you take a smaller, regional train which was an experience in itself.  There were gypsy children playing accordions for money on the train.  I arrived in Sorrento and it was hot, sunny and stretched along the ocean.  Sorrento thrives on tourism and the people there are falling all over themselves to make your stay enjoyable and happy.  Almost everyone spoke english.  It was so nice to slow down and relax.  The first day was spent exploring this cute little town and eating and drinking at a wonderful little restaurant that had the most wonderful Pinot Grigio and prosciutto wrapped melon, and pizza, and.... yum!  Sorrento was definitely more expensive, but worth the splurge.  Afternoons were spent lounging at the pool.  I met some amazing locals and ate some of the best food I had in all of Italy here.  I will go back for sure next time I am in Italy.
