Hi Johannes,
We walked down to Marina di Puolo, a seafaring village that occupies
the small bay sandwiched between the Capo di Sorrento and the Capo di
Massa. Really just a brief walk from the center of Sorrento. Once at
the marina, I just started chatting with the locals (in English with
lots of hand signals and tried as much Latin as I could, though THAT
didn't help much), and soon found someone willing to take us out for
the day...very reasonable too...about 1/3 of the cost of the tourist
boat and about 1000 times more enjoyable. I don't think they let you
dive off the tourist boats...we swam in the grottoes, drank chianti
in the sun and munched on fresh bread and cheese. Glorious, glorious,
glorious.
And thanks for your kind words. I am attracted to Italy not so much for the art as for the food, the natural beauty and the warmth of the people. Mark http:http://www.macofallarts.com |
