Molto buona grazi Italia!
A few weeks ago, Kate, Matty and I headed to Sorrento , Italy for a long awaited holiday.
We had such a wonderful time, and really relaxed - something we haven’t managed to do for quite some time. Luckily, we were blessed with beautiful weather for almost the entire trip - on the Saturday, Sorrento experienced a HUGE Thunderstorm, and deluge like we haven’t ever witnessed! The Thunderstorm lasted at least 9 hours! The sheer volume of water was amazing, and unfortunately, managed to enter our hotel’s main entrance and bar/lounge area. The staff were madly running around with towels, mops, and rolled up expensive carpets/rugs.
The best part of the trip was that we had nothing planned. 4.5 days of doing whatever we wanted. So, we decided to spend the first morning just wandering around Sorrento, enjoying some lovely food/drink/gelati. This left the afternoon free to be dedicated to spend beside the pool! With lovely 26deg weather, this was just what the doctor ordered! Matty donned his little swimmers, and lifevest, and splashed away in the water to his heart’s content. Coctail time! Since we were supposed to be relaxing, we felt it necessary to order ourselves a cocktail each: Pina Collada for Kate, Strawberry Daquiri for yours truly, and a Smile for Matty - his first ever cocktail (Yes, it was non-alcoholic! hehe).
One day, we jumped on a ferry, and popped across to the playground of the Rich - Capri. A very cool place - especially if you are into the expensive brands, such as Prada, Armani, etc. After enjoying a lovely stroll around the charming little alleyways, and streets, we headed back to Sorrento - with credit card still intact, and not dented at all!
The highlight of the trip for Kate and I was definitely the hiring of a Vespa, and riding along the Amalfi coast, to Amalfi, and back, stopping along the way in Positano for lunch. What a beautiful part of the world!! Magnifico! Meanwhile, Matty was living it up with a lovely local babysitter, who took him out for icecream with her Italian friends. Matty had a ball!
All in all, the trip was exactly what the doctor ordered! Time out, to relax, and spend some quality time with Kate & Matty.
Molto buona grazi Italia! Thank you very much Italy!
