Mae Abroad

We left the hotel at the Neapolitan time of 10ish or 11ish and headed back to the town to find some breakfast. We parked in another paid parking lot so Kyle was happy. After breakfast we looked in a couple of shops after to see if we could find a ravioli cutter but still no luck. So weird. It was so nice out again, such good luck with the weather. We found another cute look out area that was apart of the "public gardens" we found in the guidebook at the hotel. It was just a little area with benches and the look out, not many flowers or garden like things.  When we were walking back to the car we saw this sign on a wood shop and I had to take a photo for dad. I thought it was so clever! Still on a mission for a ravioli cutter we headed towards Pozzuoli to try and go to their "Costco-Like" or "Walmart-Like" stores they have. One is called Leroy Merlin and the other is Auchan. The one we went to was apart of this huge mall. Kyle and I h...

We lived like true Italians today. Woke up, cooked a huge meal, ate that huge meal, took a nap then started over again. The whole day was full of great pleasures for the both of us and so fulfilling! Literally! We started the cooking class at 10am this morning. It was held in this huge kitchen at the resort we are staying at. Chef Mina was our teacher and she usually has an interpreter but she didnt today which was fine because we thought her English was pretty good. She also knew German which Kyle knows too so that was helpful! She was from Germany originally and then moved to Italy so German is her first language then Italian then English. We both got aprons to wear and started with making a pizza dough from scratch. Mina used live yeast which is something I've never worked with before. Kyle and I both took turns kneading the dough. He was hesitant at first but he did good! Mina covered the dough ball and put it in the oven to rise. After that we made the marinara sa...

We asked Sabrina at the front counter how to get to the downtown area tonight. She said it was a 25 minute walk so we started out in the direction she pointed us in. We ended up stopping at this lookout point where we could see the whole bay of Sorrento. It was beautiful! There was this cave looking path by the look out and we walked down in it and it ended up taking us all the way down to the beach! Most beaches in Italy you have to pay for but we just walked right on this one. It had black sand and lots of rocks and was in this little cove area. There were only a few people there. We sat and soaked up the sun for a bit and collected shells and rocks. Kyle eventually started skipping rocks until his arm started to hurt. So we walked back up to the top and decided to go back to the hotel to get the car and drive to the city center instead. This is where Kyle fell in love with Sorrento. Right at the entrance to the main strip was...
