well good morning good morning guys it is a beautiful sunny day here in Pompeii
so we've decided to go on a day trip to sorrento yeah and our train is to
survive so it's gonna be the shortest intro ever we have to catch it
let's get on consider the official start of the amalfi coast the cliff Birchtown
of sorrento makes for a quick and easy day trip we caught the train in pompeii
at vila de me steady and took the seat Goomba silviana line all the way down
the coast our plan for the day to eat and wander around without much of an
itinerary
okay okay well we've arrived in Sorrento we've arrived it took less than 30
minutes mm-hmm ticket price which we forgot to mention was only two euros and
forty cents yeah yeah little bit of entertainment yeah performers came on
give them a Euro tip they did a really nice job and yeah we're here I think the
first order of business is gonna go and find a cafe yeah some coffee and maybe
on some kid oh my goodness it's time for a second breakfast yes it is since we
were visiting just before the holidays the streets were decked out with all
sorts of Christmas decorations we've refriended a few dogs along the
way and then we found a spot to indulge in coffees and pastries
all right guys we found a place where to eat breakfast and I was so excited we
notice it from the outside to kind of look like a pastry shop you know they
have these massive displays and I we were like peeking in like oh this all
good yes and we saw they had tables we can sit down and enjoy your coffee and
pastries so we were soulish so we ordered two cappuccinos with Nutella
what they've done is they've coated the entire cabinet Ella it's all like melted
there's less they pour in the coffee and you know like a frothy milk this is
amazing I've already had a sip and oh my goodness like I don't know if you can
see on that side the chocolate but yeah one lesson
that's wonderful also I got two pastries or two desserts because I thought we
were gonna be really small because in Matera we were going to a bakery and
like the portions were you know like tiny like something a special taste
these are huge so I got the canola Franzese which is this one it's filled
with cream and it's got some nuts here as well and then Sam was in the mood for
lemon in Kega Delicia alimony Sorrento which is a lemon delight it has like
little candied lemon on top which is super cute and we thought we need
something savory - so we got a panini ham cheese and tomato with you
we're well equipped reset what's not for breakfast alright Sam here is already on
it already digging into the panini that's really nice it's jacked because
he has go cheese and big slices of tomatoes
oh yeah also got into the desert already my gosh that's delicious I'll see you
sir there's a local lemons specialty dessert yeah limoncello and anything
lemon related is super popular here oh look at that face that's just the hello
man it's sugary and so lemony yeah yes what a good idea we weren't we
weren't originally planning to do this we're just gonna have our main lunch
yeah but now that we're getting some really tasty food we're gonna have so
much fun so peckish we didn't feel like waiting
till lunch Oh Chinese breakfast we just had fruit I don't know what we were
thinking anyways this is nice
after walking through the town we started making our way down to the
waterfront more specifically to Medina Grande this Harbor is lined with pastel
colored buildings boats bobbing in the water and lots of seafood restaurants
so the plan we are now heading down towards the marina
check out the bees behind me we have some really colorful buildings lots of
boats the beach it's kind of foggy actually you can still see some mist or
fog over the water rolling into the town uh oh yeah it's a beautiful day we do
have sunshine so I really shouldn't be complaining about the cold because I
mean it is winter what else should I be expecting and look at this we've got Sam
working his magic but pose is getting for those fishermen to do something
okay this I find super interesting I'm gonna read this inscriptions you've got
to come a little closer we're gonna do a little history lesson so I'm gonna read
an Italian I'm suit says in record all date antecedent eeny Jadakiss Alvaro no
her father Grande Mar del Plata Argentina tuta so from what I can
understand this is actually like in remembrance of all the people from
Sorrento that ended up in Argentina in the town of Madeline blood de which I've
never visited but my dad is from this area so I find that super interesting I
had no idea that so many Italians from Sorrento had ended up in the city look
at this this is the Argentine what do you call this not an emblem is it an
emblem it is yellow blue there you go
after walking the length of the marina and browsing through menus we finally
settled in a restaurant for lunch is Antonio Marez you're sitting at a
restaurant by the seaside and we figured let's have pizza because it's been a bit
of a trend why stop now we've only got a few more days left here in Italy so we
figured let's make the most of it and today we're gonna do seafood pizza
because I'll see you by the seat oh yeah I can't wait to tell Ian see if it fits
oh my gosh it's gonna be good oh my gosh all right guys the pizzas are here oh
yeah oh my goodness they came and it was just like jaw-dropping they look
beautiful I always have no words this is the one I got - fruity D Madden with
thumb house forget the word for this mussels right those are muscles but look
at the presentation I love that it's still in the shell it just adds
beautiful colors like these purples and like oh my god oh my god I got the one
with surgeon yeah so Sam's was called Pizza Romana
yes I'm Joey - oh good all right so we're gonna dig right in kind of move
the shell no I feel like you have to do a bit of a hand and work before you can
even get yeah got it really get into it so I'm gonna cut myself a bite-sized
portion and then I guess we're gonna grab one of these little guys yeah just
scrape it out oh it's already loose that's perfect I'm gonna put my little
shuffle that's what the plate is for I thought oh maybe he thought never gonna
share no I think that's definitely for yourself or the shelf mm-hmm we should
actually probably go through and just remove all the shells though yeah it
looked beautiful but it's not ideal for fighting today did you did you all right
moment of truth
mmm-hmm hit the spot that's great it's good that's the truth
that's the sure that's the truth moment of truth that's really really good
that's the bottom line mhm there we go look at that
if those salted anchovies oh look at that I got beautiful beautiful he says
beautiful to meet you you reviewed it lost big thick mozzarella cheese all
right in you go and you go hmm if you thought that pizza was salty
it's like teeth that's like ten axing it with these good ol salty and I'm you
know like that I like them both this one's my favorite
really the anchovy oh yeah oh wow oh yeah
for dessert I got myself a little limoncello because that is what you get
when you come here special event in Sorrento because yeah awesome else
wonderful that's almost like a neon yellow that is so sweet and then it's a
little bit sour and burns as it goes down yeah it's just it makes for a great
dessert drinking I like there was other desserts like mixed fruit and cake I was
like this oh we have room for that just give me the alcohol
yes it's perfect this will help maybe burn through the cheese a little bit so
I could use it but in terms of price point that was 23 euros and then ended
this the two pizzas the big fizzy water and also the comparator which was only
one year of the person so that's one of the cheap better price co-producers yeah
can be as much as two dozen k my goodness
yeah so I thought that was very reasonable man were full great quality
pieces so much seafood so yeah we hide the vacuum at this place and if you come
here definitely check out the pizzas for sure
making our way back to town we also attempted to visit sorrento cathedral
but we arrived outside of opening hours so here's a quick look from the exterior
so it looks like we missed the opening hours for the cathedral it's only open
from 8:00 to 12:30 and then 4:30 to 9:00 yes
from there we continued down some of Sorrento's pedestrian friendly side
streets which were lined with small shops and outdoor produce stalls
limoncello seemed to be by far the most popular souvenir so if you're looking
for a taste of the fame lemon liqueur this is a good place to stock up there
are definitely no shortage of places to shop here in the city like there's a lot
of Christmas stuff right now the moment is christmas is just around the corner
about three weeks away yeah and there's tons of limoncello well there are stores
dedicated just to it
our last stop of the day were the cloisters of st. Francis where there was
a small art exhibition taking place these cloisters are also located in a
small park with great views of the coastline and the Mediterranean Sea
so we enjoyed the views one last time and then it was time to head back well I
would say we are just about ready to call it a day yeah and whatever what a
cool day it was I mean I feel like we got to do a lot here especially for the
winter there isn't quite as many things to do as in that summer we did a lot of
food-related stuff oh yes we ate a lot we've wandered around a lot it's a very
charming city very walkable also this is where you can catch a ferry to the Capri
as well and had we had more time we would have done that or a little bit
warmer it hasn't been warm on the water today yeah I wouldn't want to be on the
water today that's for sure it was a very windy and chilly especially when we
were in the Sun but yeah it made for a really cool day trip and this is the
kind of place where you can kind of cover in a day what are we doing we're
shopping but only because I'm freezing cold I love the shop we only have a few
more days left here but it is like it's not close she's like this is like I want
to shop let's spend money I'd spend money feel that you gotta feel this oh
yeah let's feel it okay it is pretty warm all right let's get you a warm
sweater call it a day she's trying things on would it keep you
warm what are their criteria are you looking for like a cloud so ridiculous I
do like it I really do like it it's it's cute I
like the buttons I think it has like a I think it has a classy design but then
again you're asking me and I'm not exactly a fashion guru so
we went shopping and not because I enjoy shopping but because it is freezing
outside in case you haven't noticed I've been wearing the same clothes to a
single day because I only have 2 warm sweaters yeah even my family has
commented Audrey in your videos seem to be worried people have now upgraded we
don't we kind of showed you what we were getting in the change room yeah I got a
turtleneck just white and a nice green jacket yes and the jacket is like a
jacket I used to own in Korea way back and when we left Korea we were going
backpacking in Southeast Asia
so alive you you you had planned to discard it
anyways you had no room because you remember the first time we went
backpacking I think you packed like six pairs of shoes you thought you were you
thought you were gonna be doing like an Instagram shoot everyday or something
and these will serve me well in the rest of winter
