We spent all day today at the hotel; the morning at the sea terrace and the afternoon at the pool. We read our books and went swimming and relaxed on the sun loungers and watched the boats go in and out of the harbour.
In the evening we walked the short distance into the centre of town to choose a restaurant for dinner. I must say that I’m enjoying the fun of choosing different places to eat each evening this time; last time we were here we were half board. The hotel dinners were excellent but it’s nice to have a bit of variety.
Sorrento is lively in the evenings, even though I think it’s a bit quieter this year, probably due to less tourists venturing abroad yet due to all of the extra documentation required. But there are still plenty of Italians, and we hear quite a few American accents as well as German, French and British. The shops are all open until about 10 p.m. and there are lots of restaurants, some on the main shopping streets and some down wee lanes. Tonight we were in one of the wee lanes, where the tables were in a long single row against the ancient wall of a palazzo. James chose a pizza and I chose ravioli which was gorgeous. Its full name is “Ravioli Mediterranei con datterini gialli della piana del sele, noci, zeste di limone e veli di caciottina” which is “ravioli with yellow datterini tomatoes, nuts, lemon zest and layers of caciottina cheese” It’s the best dish that I have eaten yet on this holiday!
