Sorrento and More





April 20:

This morning we visited Tyler's favorite church when he was in Italy….then walked around Rome for a final time before we boarded the train to Naples. Great way to travel!!! Enjoying the view as we sip coffee and eat biscuits and chocolate!
Arrived in Sorrento to shop and eat and enjoy the views. Love the cafes and shopkeepers who chat with everyone….more small co bblesone streets, lots and lots of scooters and motorcycles…Joel is tempted to ride one! A much more relaxing day…visited the beach and walked lots.

April 21

We took the bus to Positano, and later to Amalfi, enjoying the famous coastline,,,then hiking to Atrani.
Another fabulous day. Lunch at Atrani, gelato in Amalfi, shopping and dinner in Sorrento.

Interesting and Favorite Moments of the Day:

-Joel being scolded by the shopkeeper for "messing up her neatly folded sweaters" as he was trying to buy one.
-Walking through the Amalfi and Atrani neighborhood …a maze of stairways and hallways…quaint!
-Lunch on the Mediterranean….blue skies, light breeze, watching Austin eat squid.
-A wild and sometimes scary bus ride from Sorrento to Positano on winding roads, cliffs, one way tunnels and lots of horn honking.
- Met a devoted restaurant owner that successfully invited us into his store. Nice Italian guy.

We will update fully soon! :)
