Ed in Europe - Part 7
"Ah, La Bella Italia!"
The Bay of Naples w/ Mt. Vesuvius Beyond (from our Bus Window, obviously!)
As the photo shows, we flew to Naples then a bus to Sorrento on the Italian "Almalfi Coast." We enjoyed several days in this gorgeous locale.
That evening, we all walked to a Gelateria (where they make and serve Gelato) in town and met MARIO.
Mario has hand-made this wonderful "Italian Ice Cream" for years! He guided our teams thru our next Challenge: To figure out the recipe and then make/freeze our own Strawberry Gelato.

Mario in his kitchen. Hans (w/ hat) & other Competitours folks behind him.
Needless to say, our gelato's, while not too bad, were not up to his quality. We learned that his own strawberry gelato has only three ingredients: fresh strawberries, sugar, and water/ice. The exact proportions? Ahh, he wouldn't say.... We really did enjoy him ...and his gelato!
That day & evening we enjoyed wandering abound Sorrento... a beautiful town.
And Italians are creative transporting their pets...
And again, we 'scored" when it came to the view from our hotel balcony!
...especially at sunset that night...
As I said before: "Ahh, la bella Italia...!"
