#Silver Nova

Captain Martini in the Mediterranean

Thursday 31st August 2023 – Sorrento, Italy - It just takes a little Chutzpah!

It was our last day today aboard the beautiful Silver Nova and our port of call was another tender port. With something of a swell this morning, it meant that the tenders took longer to load with passengers and we ended up waiting around 45 minutes to go ashore, landing in the tiny harbour at the foot of Sorrento’s iconic cliffs.

They can’t get large coaches down to the harbour, so there was a very efficient shuttle arrangement to take people up to the coach park and the tour buses.

Our excursion today was entitled ‘Sorrento Coast and Tasting at Casale Villarena’ and we had just one photo-stop on the way, with a splendid view of the Isle of Capri.

Then it was on to the district of Nerena, our ‘tastings’. To be honest, it was more of a full scale lunch, with a large plate of antipasti, two wines and cake drizzled in lemon honey for dessert.

Needless to say, there was the opportunity to taste some Limonchello, as well as to buy the wines. If I’m honest, some of the flavours offered were not my taste and I enjoyed those in Malta rather more.

On the other hand, any restaurant, bar or ‘casale’ that plays composer John Barry’s music in the background (as this one did) can’t be bad in my books!

Returning to Sorrento, Andrew headed for the shuttle back to the tender, while Angie went off to investigate the shopping. I went in search of a photo-opportunity and, following my nose and instinct, I found myself outside the entrance to the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria.

From the entrance I could see all the way through to what looked like a balcony beyond, so I casually but confidently just walked all the way through and took my picture of Silver Nova at anchor, with Vesuvius in the background….

I still had to get back to the harbour of course but quite by chance, I spotted an elevator from the balcony; so I got in and went down, to discover that it came out at the tiny harbour just a few yards from the ship’s tender pontoon. Indeed, Andrew was still in the queue waiting to get on the next tender!

Maybe it was because it was the last day of our rather wonderful cruise or because I was thinking about the fact that my Dad was here (aged only 22 years old) just after the War and brought my Mum here more than once for holidays in the 1960s, but I confess that I was feeling a little melancholic for much of the morning. However, my discovery of the hotel balcony and its ‘secret’ elevator right down to the harbour cheered me up no end! You see, it only takes a little ‘chutzpah’!
