Sorrento, Amalfi Coast & Capri

Robbie 4 Comments

We left Tuscany and took the train from Florence to Naples where we rented a car and drove to Sorrento.  That drive was interesting as it was a small taste of winding roads and tunnels along the seaside.  We discovered that scooter drivers rule the road and are fearless about passing and darting in and out of traffic!  Our villa was right in the heart of Sorrento, so we could easily walk to restaurants and shopping.
