18,000
steps
Started
off this morning with a hike from Sorrento towards Saint Agate. We
went up 300 meters over 3KM, lots and lots of ups. Beautiful views
of Sorrento, the surrounding mountains, water, and Mount Vesuvius in
the background. Found different trail down and so glad we did it the
way we did as many many steps on the way down. Going up was more
just steep hill climbing with not as many steps. Near the end came
across a little church and the stages of the cross. There is no way
this church is used very often, lots of steps to get to it. Guessing
they probably do an Easter or Christmas service here. It was a
beautiful morning, only saw 4 other people on our walk.
Stopped
at a bakery and picked up some delicious baked bread for lunch back
at the apartment.
Just
time for a quick clean up and turn around at the apartment and we are
off to the cooking class we booked yesterday. One other couple from
the US with us, lots of fun. We make gnocchi, eggplant Parmesan, and
lemon tiramisu. She had prepared some things for us before dinner as
well. It was lots of fun and entertaining, a great instructor.
Back
home by 7:30, it will be an early night as we have an early start
tomorrow. There was a little rain when we walked home from our
cooking class, hopefully it will be nice out tomorrow as we have
outdoor activities planned again.
