Ciao!
I'm sitting in a bar called Insolito on what I believe to be Corso Italia (cut me some slack, I've been wandering aimlessly for some time now), Sorrento's main drag. I haven't figured out why the keyboard is positioned below my knees, but otherwise - cool place.. sports bar/disco. I arrived in Naples this afternoon by EasyJet and caught a handy bus straight down to my home for the next few days. After an hour or so of confusion trying to find my B&B, I arrived at Villa Anna - and was shown to a private apartment, that frankly, is probably bigger and better equipped than my place in Paris. Beautiful place - behind a private gate, lemon trees at the ready, little bit off the beaten path, but very close to the center of town. Couldn't ask for more, and the price is incredible. Trust me.
Enjoyed a dinner for one outdoors at a nice little extremely tourist-friendly (as is most of Sorrento, btw) restaurant on Piazza A. Lauro. The pizza looked terrific and light (a look from last trip), in the way only southern Italy can do, but I had to go with the namesake Gnocchi Sorrento. Absolutely fantastic, as was the giant "glass" of house wine they served me.
I think I'm going to like this place. Now if you'll excuse me - my vodka tonic awaits.

Wow.. I so want to go to Sorrento! I think I would've gone with the pizza, though. Can get gnocchi anywhere, but amazing pizza is tough to find. ;)
I had pizza this afternoon, and it was terrific. Can't eat pizza for every meal - I'm here for a week, have to pace myself. ;)
Hi John; You've helped extend our vacation. We had the same feeling you experienced at Pompeii. You can almost relive life as it was in 72AD. By the way, one of our best meals in Italy was at a "Main Street" restaurant in Sorrento. Keep enjoying and keep posting. Our tour of The Marches was outstandiing. If the Adriatic coast is in your "plan" please contact us for hints. Arthur & Bobbie
