ravello

Our hotel in Ravello was so beautiful there was really no need to leave the grounds. We decided to have a low key day there. We ate a nice breakfast (complete with fruits, pastries, fresh squeezed apple ginger juice and the most delicious herbal tea from vervain leaves). Then we got some work done in the room, explored the gardens, and worked out in the exercise room. I took lots of photos. 

Eventually in the late afternoon we left the hotel and walked around Ravello. We decided to return to the same restaurant for dinner. The elderly woman owner was there again. We found out her name -- Netta. When she saw we were repeat guests she warmed up to us and we even got a smile out of her.  Later she insisted we have the lemon cake for desert on the house. I left after giving her a personal thank you for her hospitality and she gave me a kiss goodbye. Ah Italy!
