For the weekend--at the recommendation of colleague Charles Caltagirone--we stayed in Sorrento at the gateway to the Amalfi Coast. This a very beautiful stretch of coast with renowned cities build nearly cliff-side. Driving the turning, twisting roads along those sheer cliffs is an adventure in an of itself. Luckily for me, Francis is an excellent driver who navigated the narrow, serpentine roads like a pro.
Sorrento is a very nice town in its own rite, with a busy city center perched above its port. The narrow streets are packed with vendors, restaurants and quite a few establishments to enjoy the local delicacies--including limoncello liqueur--Sorrento's most beloved local product.
