L'italiano, lie-ins and limoncello.

My second trip to Sorrento was just as beautiful as the first... albeit colder, with more bread and less geography worksheets. However, in the 3 years that have passed, little has changed. The streets still bare that unfinished and chipped paintwork; insignias of the Madonna and child glare waxy and unassuming from the exposed rock-faces; ripe viridescent trees hang heavy with gnarled, bitter lemons; and, when plied with carbs and wine, everything seems slower and a little bit calmer.



(The view from a cafe in the main square, never has the need for a linen suit and a panama hat been more apt)



(Pistachio and Lemon gelato mmmmmmmm)



(You'd think we would be more excited for a city preserved from 79AD... apparently not)







(Couldn't resist...)

Also, here is a little bit of footage from my trip. I only chose to film 3 of the days, it was a holiday after all. So here is a snapshot of Sorrento, Pompeii and Vesuvius. (Sorry about the editing, this is my first go). The song is 'Robbers', by the 1975.
