Swimming at the Sorrento Lido

After we saw Pompeii, we went to the Lido in Sorrento. Sorrento is a town with many, big huge cliffs that go straight down into the water.

There were some hotels and we saw a beach and we tried to get to it, but the only way to get down to it, was to get checked into the hotel to get down to it. We asked someone if they knew a way to get down to a public beach. They said they knew a way. We walked down this cobblestone road to the water, and looked for a nice beach to swim. The beaches were super sandy, and they had this wall with some openings in it, so you could get farther out to the sea. There were a lot of fish in the sea, and I had a lot of fun diving down to touch the fish and scare them away.

We swam around at this beach called Leonelli's Lido. It had been there 100 years or more. There were some little huts were you could change into your swimsuits, and some seats to lie or sit down on. You had to pay to get in. We looked at a lot of them before we decided to go to Leonelli's. There were a lot of people at Leonelli's. There was a cafe and many people were playing games and having fun. Overall, not many people were swimming, most people were playing on the beach, eating or playing games elsewhere. It seemed to me like it was a place that you would meet your friends, and that everyone at the beach would know you.
