We got up this morning and had a hearty breakfast (everything we could eat out of the fridge because we didn’t want to throw it away or carry with us) and headed out for the train station.  We took the Metro to Roma Termini and two hour train ride to Naples.  In Naples we switched to the Circumvesuviana train which is a little local line that connects Sorrento to Naples and the smaller towns in between.

We reached beautiful Sorrento about 3:00pm and found our apartment right away.  It’s hard to miss.  It overlooks the main square in town.  We love Sorrento and we wanted to share it with the kids.  The apartment was even better than expected.  Two full bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room and gargantuan living room with balconies overlooking the piazza below.  We couldn’t be happier.  The manager met us and showed us around, we dropped our bags and headed out to lunch at a favorite spot.  Fresh fish is the order of the day in Sorrento so Jean had a beautiful white fish with tomatoes and I had linguine with locally caught clams.  The kids went more traditional with pasta, ham and cheese sandwich and French fries.  We strolled down the ocean overlook, had a gelato and make our way back to the apartment for a much needed siesta.  (At least for Mimi and Grandpa)
