Grace headed back to Atlanta on Thursday. We took the trip with her to Napoli to wish her off and had a Pizza. Our usual place, Antica Pizzeria Da Michele, was packed with about a hundred people outside waiting (it was a holiday) so the cabbie took us to his favorite place; Pallone – it was very good but then I think it is hard to get a bad pizza in Napoli!…..
Yesterday we had lunch at San Antonino’s, one of our all time favorite restaurants; Pizza, Gnocchi, Spaghetti with Mussels, Veal Alla Sorrentinna. Today the weather has turned bad but we’re not letting it get us down. We found a shop half way down to the Marina Grande that manufactures their own Mozzarella so we took the opportunity to have a Mozzerella party…..
Grace arrived yesterday and was very pleased to be here……. We had dinner at our favorite Pizza spot in Sorrento, The Aurora and found a favorite wine ….
The view I never tire of….
We left Brussels this morning, just arrived in Napoli and are now on a bus to the beautiful Amalfi coast / Sorrento. We made it by the skin of our teeth! Next bus would have been 3 hours!
Stayed here many times. Nice little hotel, no frills, overlooking Lake Como.
