Our long 5 day weekend started on Thursday morning. Our entire program headed out on a 7 am train bound for Naples, Italy. The train was about 2 and a half hours, so I slept most of the way there. After arriving and navigating the train station we headed to the Naples Archeological Museum.
Afterwards, we had some free time to explore and grab some food. Me and Kels found our favorite pizza yet, for a grand total of only 1€!!! Naples was very a bustling busy city, first skyscrapers I had seen in a while after living in Rome. It wasn't the cleanest however, and I can see how it wouldn't be the most safe place later in the day. But when we were there in the middle of the day it was colorful and vibrant.
From Naples we traveled to Sorrento. A completely different feel, this was a quaint friendly mediteranean city. Still colorful and ten times cleaner. Beautiful Views of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. We stayed in a cute little family run place, Hotel Savoria. After checking in we explored the local markets didn't buy anything but picked up a bottle of wine then headed back to the hotel and got ready for dinner that night.
The program had mad reservations for everyone that night at a very nice restaurants which name translates to the Lemon Tree. It had a HUGE backyard terrace and part of it was enclosed in a sort of greenhouse structure. We were served a 5 course meal along with unlimited wine. The waiters were friendly and one of the older men waiters was especially flirtatious and always made sure we had a full bottle on the table! Longest meal I have ever ate, we started at 8:00 and didn't finish till 10:30. Great Experience and would definitely recommend eating at least one meal in this style for anyone visiting Italy.
