Last Day In Sorrento

 It was another beautiful day in Sorrento so we decided to head out for a final visit to our favorite ‘Lost Bar’.  We geared up for our final hike in Sorrento.  We headed out the door knowing this was the last time we would treat these alleys and streets and trails.  

The hike was beautiful up thru the hills above Sorrento.  The olive trees were ready for picking and some were already picked. They spread out nets below the olive trees to catch the fruit when it falls naturally and when they beat or shake the limbs.  There was a lady out collecting the fruit that had fallen but otherwise the trees were quiet.  

We headed downhill toward the Roman Ruins but turned left to go to the Lost Bar.  There were fewer people out at the beach and in the ocean/

We got a nice table and relaxed for awhile/. The ocean was calm and there were many ferries but fewer boats.  The small harbor we could see had only had 2 people on the beach and the tables were mostly empty at the restaurants.  

We ordered our regular focaccia with ham and cheese and tomatoes.  It was heated on a panini grill and drizzled with oil.  So good! 

We sat and watched the sea and talk about our trip.  It had been wonderful to stay one place for 3 weeks.  We were able to relax and just take it easy.  If we wanted to do things we would but some days were just taking it easy.  We could favorite restaurants that we went to again and again.  They waiter recognized us and that was fun.  All the food was wonderful no matter how cheap or expensive. 

We finally had today goodbye to the Lost Bar and we for a selfie with the owner before we left.  We will remember this place forever.

We got back him and did some laundry.  No dryer so you have to air dry everything.

We made a reservation for our final dinner at a restaurant just steps from our home.  Our friend Robb made it back from Positano and  we all went together.  The food was wonderful as usual and we finished with ‘Lemon Delight’ which was the specialty of Sorrento.  A great way to end our stay in Sorrento.

Kidney Stone and We Got Our Camino Certificates

Image
The day started at 12:30 AM when Jack began to have pain in his right hip area.  It took awhile but he finally decided it had to be  kidney stone which happened in August in Yosemite. It was the right kidney and it hurt pretty bad - but at least he knew what to do.  He downed two strong painkillers and a ton of water and after a few hours the pain was a lot less.  He tried to sleep but that wasn’t happening.  Another pain med and more after around 5 and things kept improving.   We decided to head out to St Peters around 10 and he felt a little dizzy but the pain was pretty much gone. The walk went slowly but it still a lot of fun to walk thru Rome.   When we got to St Peters we were able to jump the long line by showing our Via Franchigena passports and we went right to the front.  Once inside there was about 20 other hikers getting their certificates.  It was so fun to get it filled out inside the church entryway.   We toured St Peters ...

On To Hiking In Cinque Terre

Image
  We were sad to leave Siena and the end of our Camino adventure. It had been a wonderful experience and we were glad to see so much of the wonderful Tuscan countryside.  Our next step was Cinque Terre which is on the Mediterranean coast north of Pisa.  We had an interesting train experience with one train badly delayed and another not leaving the station on time.  In the end we reached Monterosso del Mare about 3 and that was our plan.   Cruising in trains is something we’ve always enjoyed as the countryside rolls by without the stress of driving.   Monterosson is the largest and most northern of the 5 villages.  We are staying in the same hotel Dianne stayed several decades and actually go the same room which we wanted.  It has a lovely balcony over the Main Street below with a spectacular view of the Mediterranean.   Our friends Jim and Sandy arrived at exactly the same time.  We sat on the patio drinking and talking till it was suppe...

Checking the Ferry and Had An Adventure Today

Image
  Yesterday was Thursday and we decided to take it easy.  We had a slow start and had lunch very close to our apartment.  We have decided to avoid two big meals each day.  We hiked down 200 vertical feet to the harbor to figure out how the ferries worked.  Then hiked back up!    We went for a 5 o’clock wine nearby and enjoyed watching the people go by.  They buildings are very close together with 10 feet between them.  This is the old town and only scooters and bikes can go down the narrow streets.   We love watching the people - all kinds of people - all shapes and sizes and countries.  Then back home for a snack of cheese and percutto and wine.  It was a nice day in sorrento. Today we planned on a hike out to the Roman ruins at the end of the isthmus.  We walked up to the top of the hill above sorrento and the views were great.  We were on a narrow road and a small garbage truck headed right for us with not much roo...
