Day 19 was a wash out and we could barely see Taorimina let alone Mount Etna and as the sea was too rough to tender into Sicily we proceeded on our way to Sorrento.
Day 20 we arrived in Sorrento and the weather had greatly improved. There we met our friends the Ulmis from Comox, who are on our sister ship, the Regatta, which was also anchored in the Bay of Naples. With them was Craig and his wife Delores. Craig is a wonderful entertainer whom we had met last year . We all, along with friends of Ron and Sandi from Vancouver, who are currently travelling in Europe, had a two hour coffee in a restaurant in Sorrento's main square. The group then headed to a restaurant in a little harbour just outside Sorrento, that we frequented last year, for a three hour luncheon. It is situated overlooking the ocean and serves the greatest seafood and pasta dishes. We had wine, great food and conversation and a truly wonderful time with lots of laughs. This was definitely the best day of the trip so far. We parted sadly on the quay on our way to our separate ships. Ron and Sandi heading for Corfu and us to Athens.
