Arrived in Sorrento, Italy

So how wide are the streets?
After five days in Rome we were ready to head for a small village near Sorrento.  Three train rides and we were there.  It was a short walk from the train station to the AirBnB but we still managed to get lost.  The directions from our host were good but we could not see the streets actually being as small as they were so that threw us off.

I started off with the picture above so you could understand our problem.  We wandered and wove our way in streets that I could touch both sides as I walked.  We finally arrived at "Via Santa Mergherita 44" and we were home.

As you can see there is a miniture Italian car parked that
had managed to find its' way down the street.
I'm glad we will be here for 7 days.  This is the best AirBnB we have found.  Here are a few photos to help you understand.  First I'll start with our bedroom chandelier.  It is an antique piece of art.

Just lovely!!!

Nicely furnished with antiques.... we fit right in.
Our hosts are a young couple, Claudia and Luiggi.  He is a chef and on our first night here he prepared an amazing three course dinner.

Pasta for the first course.
Fish and vegetables for the second course
We were so full from the first two courses that we had to decline the third course.  This is a true Bed  & Breakfast so we are waiting to see what happens for breakfast.  I've read that he does amazing crepes.


The deck facing North and South.
We dined on the outdoor deck and will be spending most of our time sitting out here listening and watching life in the neighborhood.  There is a church steeple about a block down, so I will enjoy the ringing of its' bells.  But if I need to we have our own bell in an arch just off the deck.

I can ring my own bell now.
We already love this place.  We wandered a small section of the square and it will be fun to eat at the cafes that surround the area.  There is a small lemon and lime groove below our deck.  Time for some lemonade.

Life is good for the Rangers.
