Sorrento! Freaking gorgeous from the first minute to the last. There was not a single part of Sorrento I didn't like. Ironically, most of Sorrento was full of older people as far as tourists. First hour we were there we were just stuck in admiration at the cliffs while a short fat indian man came up to our group saying "Please thank you! thank you very much! Give me money! Please!" with an hat upside down extended towards us. we shooed him off and ten minutes later he came back with the same phrase except he stayed around for a lot longer. Then I started advising the group to take off their pants whenever he approaches and he fled.
Once we got into the our hotel we decided to walk around and we got a special deal at a restaurant, where all of our drinks were paid for. literally 40-50 euros off of our tab. It was incredible! That's how I knew this place was going to be amazing. That day we tried to make mac and cheese out of mozzarella. Turns out it doesnt work. Not even a bit. But afterwards since it was St Paddy's we decided to start the night with a couple boxes of box wine. Then we went out to the bars, and there we met some people from Ohio and a girl named Amber. Amber was gorgeous from what I can remember, my kinda height and beautiful red hair. Unfortunately, that's all I remember about Amber. I met a man named Vincenzio, a godsend. Then I woke up in bed with two other friends. Rude awakening I would say.
The next day we decided to walk around and explore what there is to do around Sorrento. Turns out there is not a whole lot to do except relax, eat, and drink. On our travels though we found a soccer field that we decided to go check out. No one was using it and we had a ball so we went ahead and played some soccer, and world cup, and ultimate. While we were there playing, an older lady came walking up with a dog. We approached her and she immediately began speaking in italian and we don't know italian. Eventually, she motioned to let her dog loose so we played with her dog for about an hour, kicking around the ball. After the soccer field we bought what we were going to make for dinner, and recovered from the first bit of exercise we had that trip. That night we went out and met English gents that were out for their friend's bachelor party. Then I met Arianna, she was on a school English trip, but she was from Italy. She was tall and dark haired, that's really all I remember, unfortunately. Then I woke up in a bed with two other friends.
The last day we were there we decided to check out the Bagni Della Regina Giovanna. It is a Beautiful cove that has roman ruins outlooking into the Mediterranean sea. The water was absolutely spectacular, just the most beautiful shades of teal. So, we decided to get into the water. well the water is 12 degrees celsius. Literally, the coldest water I have ever been in. It felt like daggers into your skin while it almost felt like your body was on fire. Just an interesting feeling that tantalized the senses. All the while the locals that were at the cove were just laughing at us. I'm sure they were calling us idiots, but it was definitely worth the experience.
That night we decided to stay in and watch a movie which was well deserved since we had been partying too much recently. Then we went home at 6 am
