Our Last Night in Sorrento
February 4th 2008 19:15
The lights are red, and my feet ache from too many steps taken over th last six days... all the same I wouldnāt change a thing. The weather has been great so far, allowing us to explore the area freely.
Today we caught a bus to the Marina Piccolo shortly before it got dark, and I had the pleasure of watching the landscape and sky fading into the same colour, losing their duality and becoming one in the darkness, which was only interrupted by scanty strings of lights. We could see Vesuvius and a streak of lights below the massive peak. I bought a ceramic tile which had a lovely painting on it with the words āTorno a Sorrentoā (return to Sorrento) on it.
We caught the bus back to Piazza Tasso, and it must be said that the buses in Italy are about three fifths the size of the buses in Sydney. Thereās room for about 10 seated passengers inside. Once at the Piazza we did some shopping and dined at Ristorante Tasso which was recommended to me by Christina at reception. I had a Calzone pizza, which is folded over and consists of cheese, tomatoes, ham and salami.
As Iāve been writing the lights changed into orange, then green, and theyāre now resting at a sky blue.
One of the male shop assistants in a handbag shop we were looking at was disappointed when I stopped singing. 'Finito?' he said. I would have resumed, but I had indeed reached the end of my tune for the time being. Mum dislikes it when I sing in public, but itās the ādone thingā here to sing or hum as you go about your day, so Iām just joining the crowd. ,o)
Weāve moved on to a slightly darker shade of blue now...
I finally bought some gelato, and one of the flavours ("Lion", after the chocolate bar) was to die for. My mum also bought some āBarry Whiteā flavoured gelato, which was delicious. I was very pleased with myself.
I think Iāve covered most of the major events of the day, so now itās back to my emails...
Ciao for now,
Epiphanie
