Hike to Capo di Sorrento

25,000 Steps 

Spent the day in Sorrento today. Started off with a walk/hike to Sorrento Cape of about 8km. Found some paths off the main road with nice small roads. The trail ended on the waterfront where the ruins are of a roman mansion with a swimming hole, we saw one person in swimming, brrr. Back through town and french fries for lunch with gelato for dessert. Rest up and back out to purchase tickets for the ferry tomorrow for the next part of our trip in Capri. Explored old town one more time to pick up a couple of souvenirs. Have loved our time in Sorrento, definitely happy with our choice of towns for this part of Italy.

Another old Fiat

Sundial is accurate

we saw lots of cobblestones streets today

Also lots of lemon and olive trees

At the end of the Sorrento Cape, a little cove

We saw a few small fishing boat pulling their nets

This would have been under the Roman Villa main floor

Looking towards Sorrento

A little patch of mosaic still exists.

Still in the basement but the wall is gone

So many lemon souvenir shops

One of the back street had  12 posters like this about Sorrento

Lots of small street

Still quiet for the restaurant, next month it starts being busy.
