Honeymoon - Part I - Sorrento Coast











We flew into Naples and headed straight to our hotel on the Sorrento Coast. It wasn't in Sorrento itself, but not far off, and we soon became accustomed to the fabulous buffet breakfasts (my favourite was the proscuitto crudo at brekky!). The hotel had a private beach, so usually after breakfast we would lie on the beach like a stranded whale (and let our tummies digest the seven rounds of breakfast that we had just eaten). From the beach, we had a picture perfect view of Mount Vesuvius. A few hours and ocean swims later, it was time to hit the swimming pool for several more hours of lying around and reading. Then in the late afternoon, we ventured to the hotel Wellness Centre for a spa, sauna and a massage bath (a jet powered massage bath with special salts). At night, we usually ate at the hotel, or caught the shuttle bus to Sorrento or Vico and found a restaurant in those cities. We spent 4 leisurely days at the Sorrento Coast where our hardest decision was 'beach or pool'?
