To Sorrento

We had a long travel day when we left Santorini. We caught the bus to the ferry at 6:30am and the flight to Rome at 6:30pm eventually finding a hotel around 9pm local time (10pm Greek time). The next morning it was off again on the train to Naples. We'd been told that Naples wasn't that great and on a tight timeframe we decided to give it a miss. We stopped for lunch though and had a couple of lovely pizzas!

From Naples we caught the "round Vesuvius" railway line to Sorrento. Sorrento is quite small. It is on the coast but quite high above the water. There's a narrow but deep gorge running through the town. In many places this is built over so you don't know it's there, but in a couple of spots it is very impressive. At one point, you look down into the gorge to see the old mill building. It's four to five stories high but only reaches a quarter or so up the gorge. At night, it's lit up and looks amazing...pretty amazing during the day too.

Not much else to say about Sorrento. Quite nice...hotels are expensive though.
