Naples and Sorrento Enhanced

Now that we are home, I am posting my original blog with all the pictures for this stop.

As we pulled into Naples you could see Castel San Elmo overlooking the city.

The port is guarded by Castel Nuovo.

We headed out with our driver, Tomasito, for Sorrento.  The weather was hazy but here is a view of Mt. Vesuvius.

Here is a church on a hill.

This is looking towards Sorrento which is the are farthest to the right.

This was looking down toward a swimming hole.

Here we are with the Mediterranean in the background.

All of the towns along this coastline are built on more than one level.

Here we are again with Sorrento in the background.

Here is another example of a villa built on the jagged cliffs.

We were dropped off in the square in Sorrento and this was one of the churches we saw.

And here is another.

We asked to see a castle so our driver brought us here which may have been the Royal Palace.

We walked up to the door only to find out that it was closed for a private wine tasting.

Since we had been dropped off for an hour we chose to look for some lunch which we found at a lovely little sidewalk cafe.

Here is another view of Castel Nuovo.  Note the cruise ship next to the castle.

Tomorrow is a down day.  Hopefully I can get to feeling better.  I’ve been told that I  need to cut down on the number of pictures that I send.  I will upload more pictures to my Picasa site when we get better internet service.  Maybe in Venice.
