- Aaaaand, here we are, traffic at a standstill because of a labor stoppage blocking the highway. Not fun. #
- Rather than Greek ruins, perhaps a nice gellatto at this nice town for a while instead. #
- Vico Equense is where Roman honchos fr Naples to Sorrento swapped out horses. Today, it's where stranded tourists get gellatto. #
- Rumor has it road shutdown will end at lunch time. Tour guide still looks worried. #
- While supportive of labor's right to strike, I can't say I'm in presently in favor of their right to block major tunnels I want to get thru. #
- I am enjoying gellatto a great deal, but I must still confess a preference for "real" ice cream. However, when in Rome … #
- Traffic now seems to be flowing from the other direction. Hopefully they're not just striking our direction now. #
- I think we're good! Huzzah! #
- Nope. According to folks driving back, tensions are hi, tires are being burned, nobody's going nowhere. So, prolly heading back to Sorrento. #
- I am informed by @BassoonCPA that it's "gelato," not "gellatto" — it still tastes good. #
- Now comes the time when we try to reschedule what today's events were supposed to be without being on the hook for the whole fee again. #
- Trip around Sorrento peninsula was wrapped up by a walking tour through town itself, including (most valuable) restaurant recommendations. #
- All around Amalfi Coast and Sorrento side, there are frequent watchtowers to light signal fires when Saracen pirates would be spotted. #
- Most of the watchtowers survive today as residences, inns, restaurants, dance clubs. #

- My observation. 🙂 RT @pedzz_bd: In Italy the new game while walking when you hear a 2-stroke engine is: is that a leaf blower or a scooter. #

- The place where we're staying in Sorrento. Link Actually, no, we're in the coachhouse. 🙂 But still cool. #
- L'Antica Trattoria in Sorrento was, as suggested, quite culinary and quite expensive. Not sure former justified latter, but a decent meal. #
