Day two.

Back on the road by 8:30ish and on our way to Sorrento. Of course we got lost in Napoli for at least and hour or so, but we eventually found our way. Not only is Napoli a crazy maze if you don't know where your going, but we got the chance to experience to wonderful Italian driving. They don't seem to believe in stop signs (we actually got honked at for stopping at one) and its perfectly ok to take up two lanes, sideswipe people, and go as fast as you may please. 

Anyhow, when we finally got on the highway we were in pretty good spirits! We got off at a town we thought was near Sorrento so we could drive along the coast. This ended up with us finding our way to Pompeii, only to leave without even seeing the ruins (we put very little effort into finding them). Then we were back in the car, driving and driving and driving, following signs that say Sorrento. We passed through a couple cool towns an saw some interesting things, but actually getting to Sorrento was a task. We kept thinking we were there only to find another sign that had an arrow pointing us another 5 kilometers. 

Just as we were starting to get a little frustrated we entered the real Sorrento. We found the first hotel that looked nice and decided to check the price (thinking we surely wouldn't be able to afford this nice place) . Since it was offseason we got a fantastic room for a fantastic price and we were all really excited with our gorgeous view! We spent the rest of the day exploring, hitting a tourist trap for lunch and getting the worst food of our trip, and then relaxing with a bit of wine (in front of our lovely view of the Gulf of Napels). 

That night we went out on the town! Eileen and I bought ourselves cameos becasue they were really affordable and fantastically beautiful. The man selling them to us, Christian, was very nice and told us all about how cameos are made. We thought they might be made out of bone, but they are actually made out for various types of seashells. After searching for a decent place to have dinner we ran back into our new friend Christian and he told us to go to a restaurant owned by his friend Luigi. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and after relaxing for a while in our hotel room we ended our first day in Sorrento.
