Day 8 - Florence - Sorrento

Long drive today to Sorrento via Autostrada del Sole through Chianti country.

Dinner tonight: (optional) Sorrento Flavours. I didn't go as I was so tired; a night in seemed to be a better option. Reports back were that the dinner was excellent and limoncello is sneaky.

The hotel is in a village outside of Sorrento. A very hilly village. Today is the feast of their patron saint so there is a street fair going on. Alex and I decided to use the local laundromat and walked down through the revellers. Washing was 4Eu for a normal load and 6Eu for a larger one. We got confused and ended up using the larger machine in error. Took about 30 mins to wash. We didn't stay to dry it; carrying a bag of damp washing up the hills was a bit tough lol.
Back at the hotel, the restaurant was closed so we grabbed a sandwich at the bar and used the Wifi in the lobby for a little while.


Entertainment: Sorrento musical (optional): I hadn't chosen this and I can't recall what the verdict was on the show.

Hotel: Central Park, Massalubrense. The people are nice and they try very hard. The beds were extemely hard, like sleeping on a block of concrete; not restful at all. WiFi is only available in the lobby.


Wakeup: 6:45; Breakfast: 7:00; Depart: 7:30.
