Italy, Day 1- Sorrento

We landed in Naples this morning after a full-day flight, having departed Detroit at 10:30 AM on yesterday.

We were met at the airport by Roberto, who drove us into Sorrento and dropped us off at Hotel Capri.  It was too early for check-in in so we dropped our baggage and headed out to explore the area a bit.

Roberto had recommended a coffee shop across the street from the hotel, where we enjoyed cappucinos and croissants for breakfast.

After breakfast, we walked to the town square.  There was a path leading to the beach but none of us had the energy for the walk.  

The square is a very crowded, densely populated shopping area. We walked around a bit, but we were all lagging.  

We found a bar with outdoor seating and decided to have a cocktail...or two.....

We ordered up some pizzas and another round of cocktails.  By the time we were finished with those it was time to check in at the hotel.  I had a shower and a much-needed nap.

The woman at the front desk recommended La Cantinaccia del Popolo for dinner, so we took a walk over.

We had to wait in this line for about 30 minutes to get a seat in the restaurant.  It was worth every second!!

Frank and I started with a half carafe of the house red and a Caprese Salad.  I enjoyed a Mozzarella Stuffed Ravioli with Speck and Walnuts in a Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce.  Frank ordered the Mozzarella Stuffed Ravioli with the Tomato Sauce.  All the food was scrumptious and the waiter poured us all a complimentary shot of Limoncella before we left.

A night-cap at the Hotel bar and early to bed for us as we have a busy day scheduled tomorrow.  See you then.
