Sorrento


Today we slept in and went down for leisurely breakfast.They have a juicing machine for fresh orange juice which is really delicious.You throw the oranges in one end and the juice comes out the other. ...so we get our dose of Vitamion C for the day.the hotel is surrounded by orange groves so we know they are fresh. Also lovely pastries, bacon and eggs, hams, cheese,cereals, yoghurt and fruit.I was hoping all the extra walking I'm doing would help me trim up but the breakfasts don't help! Today was a rest day so we hung out in the Hotel until 11am then went down into town to wander the shops .There is a lemon grove in the centre of town where you can sample limoncello and yes we did. There was also a gelati shop with 90 different flavours to choose from and Yes we did...we tried fig, peach and lemon flavours. We found a shady park and sat and ate some fruit and croissants. We found a leather shop and Jim got a wallet and Carlie a purse.We also found a clothes shop and bought a couple of shirts. We then went back to the hotel to chill for the afternoon. There is quite a summer haze here which is common in europe in summer and we can hardly see the other side of the bay today.
