Many people are heading off to Italy. Anyone going to Sorrento? Want to schedule a time in from of the web cam - so we can watch out for you?

Hi Pauline,
If, by June the 2nd you are still needing volunteers we will be the guinea pigs but I am sure you won't have to wait that long !

That would be fun Wendy. Closer to your trip, pick a day and time and post - we will keep a watch for you. We did this for a few people last year and it was fun!!

We should be in Sorrento with our walking tour around lunchtime on October 5. Where do we go to find the Webcam?

I'm not confident enough about finding this place or our itenerary to promise to be there at a certain time, but I certainly will look for it between May 11-14 and will wave if I find the camera - so if any insomniacs catch a middle aged strawberry blond with a big strapping teenage son and a tiny figure skater shaped 14 year old girl - that's us!

The Sorrento webcam is right in the historic center of Sorrento, one block down towards the water from the main shopping street.

Pauline....what a good idea. We will be in Sorrento May 26-31 and have already planned to wave at the cam, but setting up a time for the Slow Trav folks will be fun.
How about this: we will make our appearance to the webcam at about 6:00 p.m. Sorrento time
on the 26th. We will be ones with sleepy looking friends who will have flown into FCO that morning. We are meeting them at the Termini and going straight to Sorrento. If other Slow Travelers have never seen New Mexicans, this will be your chance.

I haven't visited the Sorrento cam in a long time. Just popped in. Am curious why the sidewalk cafe tables aren't out. At this time of day on a Sun. evening, I would think they would be out and full. Did the cafe close?

Try to leave behind a piece of paper with slowtrav.com written on it - either stick it on the post box or lean it against one of the plants.

I just watched someone in front of the web cam. He was on the phone and looking at the camera. Another person with him was also posing beside him sometimes, walking around others. Other web cam fans!!

I miss the cafe! And I still haven't gotten used to the "new" camera angle. I was so used to the old view. But still, it's like looking out my window onto a street scene.

T minus 12 minutes til the appearance of PGM41.

I don't like how it refreshes. The picture used to stay there the whole time and then just change. Now you have to watch it download. They should be there soon.

I like the looks of everyone walking by, gazing back at the banner! How funny. They should have wrapped the banner around one of the planters so we could be on "sign watch" tonight.

Happy
