After the intensity of the Italian capital, Rome, it was more than a pleasure to kick back and relax along the coast of Italy in the town of Sorrento.
SMELL;
Ever famous as being the home of Limoncello, the sweet yet bitter liquor is unavoidable in Sorrento. Perfectly fitting into the vibrant community of Sorrento, the smell of Limoncello is certainly one you will not leave Sorrento without smelling. Visiting a Limoncello farm, we were able to see the source of this sweet nectar and source where the smell begins. Limoncello, great to have a sniff of.
TASTE;
Despite using our time in Sorrento as a partial detox and chance to recharge our batteries, drinking Prosecco here is certainly unavoidable. Now, I am an AVID Prosecco drinker, but this is something else ladies and gentlemen. I am certainly not talking your bog standard on offer bottle from Tesco. Prosecco in Italy is an experience. They get the bubbles bang on, aiding the liquid of God’s to slip down that throat of yours at the perfect rate. The taste is just right, dry but flavoursome. I could write about this all day, likewise I could drink this all day without even thinking twice about the impending Prosecco headache the next day. Long live the real shit.
SEE;
Being a part of the view is actually a wicked way to see the view. Perching on some rocks within the sea in Sorrento I kinda felt like something from a James Bond film. The blue water and sky made it more than easy to just sit on these rocks, and take it all in. There is definitely something about sitting within a perfect view that makes everything around you and within you feel nothing other than happy. To make matters even nicer, the giant seagulls which accompany you at the British seaside were absent. Something quite breathtaking, untouched and natural, great job Sorrento.
HEAR;
Aligning with my favourite thing to see quite perfectly is my favourite thing to hear in Sorrento. Silence. Having spent the previous weeks in and out of cities, this coastal town was the perfect place to escape. Silence is sometimes a little nerving, or odd, but Sorrento silence is the nuts. It completely ties in with the quaint elegance of the town to leave you feeling all very relaxed.
FEEL;
Being British, going abroad and receiving a downfall of rain is really heavy on the heart. I was really pissed off at Italy when it absolutely hammered it down and actually almost had tears going on in my eyes. Alas, when the clouds cleared and the sun appeared to beat down its warmth on us the following day, this was a great FEEL. WARM SUNNY FEELS.,
