"Sorrento Land of Lemon" a Sorrento Travel Page by ChartIt

I was thrilled to get to Sorrento after a long day of sight seeing and a trip on the wrong train. *oops* But we got there in time to catch the shuttle to our hotel, see the sunset over the Bay of Naples and have a wonderful meal of seafood, vegtables and fresh pasta. Mount Vesuvius never looked so wonderful.

Is very touristy, and small. You can tell that English tourists have been regulars here for a very very long time, pubs and plenty of soccor matches are aplenty. Menus can cater specifically to those who long for a full english breakfast, I wasnt one of them. I was quiet content with the contentintal breakfast and plenty of fresh fruit. We however used Sorrento as our base camp. We visited Pompei and we were planning on Herculanium too, but decided a day in the sun enjoying the ocean and atmosphere at a "beach" would be better. I think we made the right choice for us, and it gave us some much needed down time and i admit a bit of tan! :)

I have never seen so many lemons in my entire life and of course they are on everything. Ok well not everything, but if you want to shop lemons tend to be very regular on just about everything you could want. There are fresh lemons for fish, salads, in sauces, lemons flavored deserts and of course limoncello. If you dont know what that is, it is a very very strong liquour made with Vodka sugar and lemon rinds. My cousin loved it, I personally hated it. I enjoyed lemon cake much more! But all the same lemons are definatly something i will always think of when i think of Sorrento.
