Day 17

Nube D'Argento Sorrento, Italy 8:50PM 7/7/10

We got to Naples and headed to the nearest internet cafe. We looked up thet campsite that we had planned to stay at, but it seemed really far and in the middle of nowhere, so we searched for another one. We found some cmaping in a town called Sorrento on the penninsula near Pompei and Herculaneum so we went back to the train station to get tickets. On our train to Sorrento, we met a couple from California. The husband was nice enough, but the wife was very loud and being a bit obnoxious. She was trying to call this hotel to book a room for them and the hotel wouldn't answer (I could sympathize with them). Then she kept announcing to the train how annoyed she was and how she had sworn that she would never come back to Italy and now here she was. I think she could tell that Troy and I were not amused by her, because she started directing her light insults at her self, which was even weirder. We simply smiled and felt some silent sympathy for her husband. We bid them good luck and finally got off the train in Sorrento!

We went stright to a convenient info booth (the first sign of the rampant tourism in Sorrento) and asked them where the campsites were. She told us that it was a 25 minute walk out of town, but it was really only about a ten minute walk through the busy downtown area. We ended up at this beautiful hillside camp area that had access to the beach!
