Sorry for the delay in the blog. We have to pay for internet service in Sorrento so I wanted to wait a couple of days so that I can get a few blogs on before we run out of minutes.
We had a lovely time at the farewell dinner last night. The food was excellent although, again, there was too much of it, and we had entertainment in the form of a man and woman who sang and played the trumpet. Dave and I danced to a waltz before heading up to bed.
We got our big bags out to the hall by 6:45 AM and then had breakfast before getting on the bus. We are headed to Sorrento. We stopped for a brief visit to Orvietto, a hill town that is reached by funicular and a small bus. Unfortunately, it was quite foggy this morning so we did not get the great views that you might get on a sunny day.
We walked around and took photos of narrow alleyways (see how foggy it is?) and unusual benches (see photo) scattered around town. We continued our trip and stopped for a quick lunch at a roadside café. It was a bit confusing here until we discovered that you had to pay in advance and then order what you wanted from the counter. While we were waiting to board the bus, we chatted with some high school students who were here on a field trip from a small fishing village in Northern Ireland. We said that we had been to Giant’s Causeway and one of the girls said she had never been there despite it being practically in her backyard. We arrived in Sorrento a little after 3 and very soon thereafter headed to the Laundromat. We were getting tired on stomping on our dirty clothes in the shower, rinsing and then hanging them around the room to dry. We had dinner in the hotel as a group.
