Super Sorrento!!

Today was my day to enjoy some free time away from the group. We had a gorgeous villa which overlooked the ocean and a lemon tree farm. Mission 1: walk to the beach without being hit my car
Mission 2: Swim in the Mediterranean sea! 
After some quick directions at the hotel I was off! To view and weather wAs ideallic for a summers day. Once arriving at the beach I planted myself on a rock surrounded by Italian mummas. I couldn't have asked for anything more Italian. 
That evening we headed out to Sorrento to enjoy a delicious collection of Italian gastronomy (my new favorite word, compliments of our tour guide)
The highlight for the group would have been the lemon slice which came with a taste of their traditional liquer called Limoncello. It is made my lemon skins left to ferment in pure alcohol- it certainly packs a punch! 
From the restaurant to enjoy the little shopping lanes in The town. Of course a fridge magnet was on the top of the shopping list. After a few turns we came across a beautiful lookout which allowed us to see Naples in illumination (another favorite word) absolutely beautiful!
