Sorrento

今天是二月十四 Tuesday (Martedi)，我們會離開美麗的 Capri 往 Sorrento.


Luciana 給我們今天從 Capri 開往 Sorrento 的航班時間表。我們沒有固定行程，加上班次都頗密，我們決定出 Marina Grande 碼頭後才決定航次吧，心目中會搭11時20分的航次。

我們坐巴士到 Marina Grande via Capri。看看這巴士有一個小機器，每名乘客上車後必須把車票在這小機器打咭確認，否則會罰款！

我們最後決定坐11時20分的航次，票價€15 per head。

再見啦！

往10號船塢。

在船上了。

不消半小時便到達，很熟識的地方，這是我第二次踏足 Sorrento了！

到達碼頭時，我不禁又哼唱起: "Come back to Sorrento"；如今我故地重遊！

Excelsior Vittoria 是這裡的地標。

進入市中心。

這是碼頭附近的小 snack bar.

往 Sorrento 必要行此漫長斜路，替著行李是頗吃力的。其實有巴士搭的，我卻希望體驗一下上斜。從碼頭上來走的路叫 via l de maio．

中途休息欣賞風景。

咦！！為什麼遠處有烟花嗚炮呢？不解？

繼續上。步步高！

哦！明解了！我們真係好好彩！今日係 St Antonino Feast Day!  在 Sorrento, 二月十四日不單是 Valentine’s Day, 亦是 Sorrento 慶祝 the patron ot the city: Saint Antonino.  因此，今天是 Sorrento 一個非常重要的日子。

這是從網上節錄的： February 14 in Sorrento is an opportunity that you
cannot miss if you love the traditions and culture.  In fact, for Sorrento
and its citizens, is the main popular faith event of the year.  In
addition to religious events during the day of St. Antonino, the main street of
Sorrento are filled with market stalls and lighting. Obviously, the most
awaited moment is represented by the procession, during which the silver statue
of the patron saint is carried through the streets of the City.   The
day’s festivities ended with the traditional evening show of fireworks. In
short, the perfect climate for a loving couple looking for an unusual way to
spend Valentine’s Day.

我們不是住在 Sorrento 的，我們選擇住在離遠少少的 Piano di Sorrento，清靜點。哈哈！有一個小插曲，由於今日係 Sorrento 的大日子，所有巴士及主要街道都封閉，幾經問路後，我們最後坐火車到 Piano di Sorrento...still very convenient.  Piano di Sorrento is a small and tranquil little town.  I believe I made the right choice to stay there (rather than Sorrento which is a bit touristy).

我們在 Piano di Sorrento 選擇了住在 Rachele 的家 (Casa Rachele B&B)，Rachele 她是一個人住，屋內有三個房，小的留給她自己，兩個大的出租給旅客。Rachele 的家很美，我們甫到達，便為我們預備很香的 espresso，並用這美麗的杯子奉上呢！

放下行李，我們便在附近吃午飯，這是 Rachele 推介的，說我們要告訢餐廳我們認識 Rachele，他們便會請我們飲 lemoncello！Well，Piano di Sorrento 是一個很細的地方，大家都認識大家。

我對 lemoncello 一般，太烈了！今天是 Valentine's Day，餐廳給我們預備了 champagne。

連 pan (bread) 都整成心心咁！

我的至愛！！！

結賬。

吃過 lunch 後，我們返回 Sorrento，check 好火車時間表先！從 Piano di Sorrento 到 Sorrento 只是兩個站，很方便。

Sorrento 不是很大，我們到處逛逛，今天很熱鬧！

保護 Sorrento 的 St Antonino，今天就是的 St Antonio Feast Day。

天氣很好，街道全是行人專用區。

這是 Sedile Dominova (Dominova Seat).
This is the only remaining
testimony in Campania of the old noble seats and dates to the XVth century. It
has a quadrilateral form with two corner arches in piperno (lava) permitting the
view of the interior of the cupola and the end walls with 18th century frescoes.
The pilasters and polystyle arches with their capotals are in archaic style. The
17th century cupola is formed by green and yellow majolica roof-tiles.

One of the two loggias where the representative of an aristocratic party used to seek advice. The city coat of arms as well as those of the various families of the Sorrento aristocracy are displayed in its interior.

另一個 St Antonino 的 statue.

四處都有果樹。

這是上次朋友帶過我來的餐廳，再舊地重遊。

很美很浪漫！

在 Sorrento 買了一份禮物給自己，音樂盒放着的是 Come back to Sorrento，你喜歡嗎？
