Trip to Sorento

On Thursday we took a train to Sorento. We stopped on the way in Naples, where pizza was invented! I ordered the Margarita pizza which us jus tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and basil. It was amazing, you can really taste how fresh everything is.
             

When we arrived in Sorento I was amazed at how beautiful it is. It is a small city right on the ocean built on cliffs over looking an amazing view. There are tons of cute touristic shops, high end clothes stores, restaurants, and gelato places.
After we got checked in and settled we took to the city! We walked down to the water, walked around, and took tons of pictures. We walked all around the city looking in all the tourist shops. In Sorento lemons grow about the size of my head, their huge! It's a main symbol of Sorento. The also have a very famous bottle of liquor called Limoncello. We also found a really awesome gelato place were everything was homemade grandma style. We walked around and found a great restaurant. I ordered Gnocci, it's a small potato dumpling stuffed with cheese and covered with fresh tomato sauce. It's absolutely amazing but so filling! After dinner we just headed back to the room to hang out before going to bed.
