Sorrento, 6pm – Not much time to write lately, as we have been busy getting from place to place. Today we arrived in mainland Italy at Naples, then made our way down to Sorrento for the first of two nights. Just a couple of things to note now, more later.
Highlights:
Orange blossoms and orange trees laden with oranges, the aroma is from heaven!
Lemon trees abound in Sorrento, home of Limoncello, a lemon-based liqueur.
Pastries to die for in Sicily, many of them based on almond paste.
A communist-themed restaurant in Catania, around the corner from a baroque Cathedral trying to shine in a very dark city…
Shrimp cooked in lemon leaves…
..and a desire to eat less traditional Italian fare this evening.
