We drove for many hours today. I was beginning to wonder if all of this bus travel was worth it and then caught my first glimpse of the Bay of Naples as we neared Sorrento.

The bus pulled over so we could get out and take photos. Barbara treated us all to a Granita di Limone, a semi-frozen dessert made with fresh lemon juice, water and sugar. It was delicious and refreshing.

We had a little time to relax before dinner so I joined a few others in the hotel pool while Emily sat in the shade nearby.

To get to dinner we boarded the bus and went up, up, up and around steep, sharp turns. Our bus driver is excellent at his job and maneuvers these tight roads in ways most couldn’t.

We ate dinner at a Michelin Star Restaurant called Lo Stuzzichino Osteria. It is a small family run operation and we met the couple who own it before enjoying an excellent meal.

Our entertainment was a singer/guitar players who invited a few people from our group to come up beside him and play the tambourine. The atmosphere was lively and we were clapping and singing. Barbara came over to Emily, took her by the hand and led her to the dance floor for a traditional dance. Soon others were on the floor, including me! We had so much fun! Emily had never seen me dance before, let alone dance with me and many memories were created that evening.
