Ciao Sorrento!

Although Sorrento is not new to me, each and every time I come, I fall again for its beauty and charm. The magnetism starts right from the sea, with those enchanting views from the ferry.


Its almost dramatic topography, with cliffs falling sharp into the Mediterranean would not make you think of this as a beach place. Still, Italians find the way around to enjoy the water. Just as they find the way around to drive (and even speed) in those winding narrow mountain roads. Kudos to them on both counts!
Sun about to set before arriving at Sorrento's port.

Vesuvius under its 'veil' (permanent veil from Sorrento's coast), from the back of the ferry (yeah, new flag required!).

Guauuuuuuuu! Es fabuloso. Ya anoté Sorrento para el dichoso día en que vuelva a cruzar el charco (que todo llega en la vida, es cuestión de desearlo con suficiente persistencia durante el tiempo necesario)!
