From Bari we made our way to Naples by bus (which was preceded by an unbelievable difficult search for a mythical "bus station"!!), and from Naples we took a train to the town of Sorrento, on the north side of the peninsula which houses the Amalfi coast. The only thing we saw of Napoli was its main train terminal!
A view from the terrace of our hotel the first night we stayed in Sorrento (we had a different hotel the other two nights).
At the suggestion of a local shop owner, we made our way to this little pizzeria which was a bit away from the city centre (and tourists). As we waited for our take-out pizzas we saw them being made by the pizza chef! Little did we know, this would be the first in a VERY long line of pizzas as we make our way through Italy. When the budget angel (or devil, depending on your view...) knocks on your conscience, you end up with pizza in your tummy!
Stefan shovin' his face full of 'za like the gentleman he is... Keep in mind though this was the first meal after traveling from Patras to Bari, Bari to Naples, and Naples to Sorrento, which amounted to about 48 hours of traveling. So... maybe we can forgive him for scarfin' down his dinner!
He had a mushroom, mozza and tomato sauce pizza... simple, but damn good!
Cliff's pizza: another simple pizza with tomato sauce, mozza, and proscuitto. He's not a big pig-eater, but when in Italy...
The next day, we walked by a sweets shop and Stefan got this "Lemon Delight", which consisted of something like lemon mousse with pieces of cake soaked in Limoncello. YUMMY!
A view of a street in Sorrento from the main square (Piazza Tasso).
Whoa, check out the GIANT Nutella bottle in the window of a gelateria in Sorrento!! The bottles on the left are the normal-sized ones.
Inside the gelateria... so many flavours, and all done up so well!

Sorrento's port.
We came across some enormous peppers in Sorrento. We had no idea they could grow to be so big. Pepper steroids are apparently legal in Italy!
