We flew from Zurich to Naples via the Alps |
We stayed in Sorrento, but our first day out we went to Pompeii |
We were suprised how much art had survived |
This is the old downtown with Vesuvius in the background |
This was the original Bertucci's Brick oven pizzeria |
This was the House of Isis. Chris used to love the show Isis on Saturday mornings as a kid |
The auditorium started to fill up after we arrived |
There was a second auditorium |
On the other side of town they also had an ampitheatre |
They could have as many as three performances a night cancelled due to rain |
Our hotel was right next to a big lemon grove where we bought some lemoncello from this woman |
She was kind enough to take our picture in the lemon grove as long as we hawked her lemoncello ;-) |
This was the entrance to the lemon grove. That's my finger pointing to the picture |
Tasso Square in downtown Sorrento. The name Sorrento is from the Greek word for Siren |
Sorrento is split in the middle by a giant gorge |
