Naples (Napoli) was a stop over for us. We were supposed to proceed to Sorrento but zzz planned a short lunch interlude and we stopped by Napoli (together with our huge backpacks) for some seriously droolicious fire-wood pizzas at Da Michele. They served only 2 kinds of pizzas, Neapolitan or Magherita, it doesn't look pretty but trust us, they are so good and fresh that we are probably never going to be satisfied with the pizzas here (its the flour and water!)
A shop that sells pasta (what else?), olive oil, lemoncillo and other food products of Italy. Typical in Sorrento, a hilly town with the prettiest alleys we have seen. First of the many small quaint towns we are going to stay at.
Whee!....Italians love their motorbikes, not hard to see many cute vespas in even small towns like Sorrento

And....dinner! Gnocchi, Ravioli, grilled calamari (which needs no other garnishing except for a squish of lemon juice, olive oil and fresh herbs
Even though we were at Naples for only a few hours, we could quickly sense the hurried pace of the city life with people hawking goods every 2 meters of the pathway. So, when we reached Sorrento, it was a big difference from Naples and a huge welcome change for us, to stay in a town so laid-back, complete with sea view and fresh air (not forgetting the fresh seafood!)
