Everyone, even St. Rick Steves, says go to Sorrento, stay in Sorrento, Sorrento is lovely, Sorrento is peaceful, Sorrento, Sorrento…and then they tell you to do all your day trips to other places. Sorrento’s adorable Old Town sells China tchotchkes identical to all the other southern Italy tchotchkes (lemon-scented everything and magnets, as far as I can tell) and goes from crowded to over-crowded when the cruise ships come in. However, it is a lovely spot along the Mediterranean where Dwayne and I walked well past blisters and ate tasty food. And, of course, did day trips, the first to one of Europe’s largest palaces (we’ve graduated from castles, it seems) and then another to the lauded Island of Capri. Looks like we now know what my next posts will be!
