Wednesday 10th August


Easy train journey to Naples. We got off there to find something for lunch. Followed the rough guide’s recommendation that the market was a good place for street food. The market was full of tat – like St. Ambroix market but with scooters driving between the stalls. Cars rarely stop for pedestrians; they’ll swerve round you if you are on a crossing. Josie bought a Korn t-shirt at one of the stalls. We found a kiosk selling fried pizza and cold beers. E12 for the four of us. I said it was the best thing I’d eaten in Italy, Will thought it was the best thing he’d eaten ever. The local train to Sant-Agnello (one stop before Sorrento) was hot and slow but got us there.
We are 2 minute walk from the sea but then you have to get down to it. Most of the places to swim are private but there is a free bit for plebs off a concrete jetty. The hotel is also a cooking school and dinner is whatever the class have been making. We had courgette soufflé, spaghetti putessena, calamari and almond tart all delicious. It is easy to get vegetarian food, most of it is anyway. They just made Josie a salad instead of the calamari. We sat at big table with all the other guests including a woman from Caversham.  Apparently the breakfasts here can include pizza!
