At breakfast this morning I wandered over to the pastry table after my cheese and onion omelette (made to order) and my healthy plate of fruit. Because of Covid there is now a member of staff at each area to serve you the food, rather than the traditional “help yourself” buffet that I remember from five years ago. After choosing a croissant I hesitated over the vast array of cakes and pastries. The waitress offered me a small round pastry with lots of layers, like thin ridges. It was absolutely delicious, filled with sweetened ricotta, and I went over (suitably masked of course) to ask her what it is called. She told me that it is called sfogliatelle.
We went down to the sea terrace in the morning and swam in the sea, which was lovely and warm, with gentle waves lifting us up and down. What beautiful views we had of the many boats travelling around the bay, to and from Ischia, Capri, Procido, Naples, and round the end of the peninsula to Amalfi and Positano.
After a pleasant stroll around Sorrento in the afternoon I cooled off with a swim in the hotel pool before dinner. There was nobody else there at all and it was delightful.
