A Weekend in March Part III

POMPEI/SORRENTO

The last day of our weekend trip down south was to see the ruins at Pompei. Visiting Pompei was a completely different experience than I had expected. There really isn't that much to see. You get off the little train and walk about 30 meters to the site entrance and that's it. So we walked around for a few hours and it was only 2 in the afternoon so we decided to randomly hop the little train  until the end of line- Sorrento. 

Sorrento is a quaint little town right on the sea. It reminds me of the Cinque Terre with lemon and orange trees everywhere, a beautiful view of the sea with cute little shops with hand painted ceramics and embroidered dish towels .... for all the tourists. 

We didn't have a lot of time, but we made sure to stop at a caffĂ© where we got strawberry torts and chocolate covered profiteroles, and coffee while we looked over the water.
