Nobleman’s Bath and the long goodbye

May 29, 2015

We walked to the Nobleman’s bath yesterday. This is the amazing Roman ruin of a Nobleman’s palace and his adjoining natural “bath” created by a natural land formation. It’s also a great walk! We then had a late lunch and wrapped up shopping in anticipation of Bill, Sandy, Susan and Grace heading home. 😦

I bought some pens made of wood by one of the inlaid wood artisans of Sorrento. This man has been making these beautiful wood objects for 60 years! We met his son, Salvation, one of the next generation of artisans. I’m very happy to see this tradition carry on!

Having fun in Sorrento Town

April 26, 2014

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…..

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!

Amazing day in Sorrento

October 24, 2013

After breakfast at the Minerva, we took a great walk to the Nobleman’s bath, a Roman ruin on the sea. Then we walked back to town and had a pizza at the Aurora in the main square followed by a visit to Standa and a walk back up the hill for happy hour on our terraces at the Minerva. Then wrapped up the evening with a walk back to town for dinner at St. Antonino’s and Gelato.

Arrivederci My Friends and Thanks for the Best Birthday Celebration Ever!

June 3, 2013

The rest of my friends head home early tomorrow morning. We spent the day in Sorrento taking in everything the city has to offer; some last minute shopping (Sandy even had her sandals made while we watched and I picked up Pop’s Provolone Picante), a mozzarella party on my room 505 balcony at the Minerva including Pastries from Monica’s (best in Sorrento) and dinner at Z’intonio Mare down in the Marina Grande.

Thanks again to all my great friends for an incredible time! Let’s do it again soon!
