| Oh, the lemons .... |
On our last day of excursions we arrived in Naples. A busy, industrial looking port with several options. The one we knew we had to do was see the Amalfi Coast.
The morning started with a tour of the coastal village, Sorrento .. with lemons,
bougainvillea, and the beautiful ocean views. After seeing Mt. Vesuvius, we had time on our own to wander the village. Our first stop was the
Sorrento Cathedral. Tucked away without any fanfare, was this gorgeous little place. We went inside to admire the stonework, light a candle and say a prayer. Several locals also wandered in and out during our time there.
We then wandered down the hill to get closer to the Gulf of Naples. Along the way we found a few more churches, a couple boutique hotels, lemon trees and gorgeous displays of bougainvillea. When we reached the water we had a wonderful view of Mt. Vesuvius as well.
Of every place we visited, over a cafe where we sipped cappuccino, we decided this was our very favorite spot. There is something about the ocean that provides the perfect balance of beauty, respite and excitement. And this place was a winner! Even though we only spent a few hours wandering, we found treasures to take home, got some great photos and will always have the memories of our time in Sorrento!
