Lovely Capri
When our time in Rome came to an end, Bob and I took a three day tour group through Viator/Carrani Tours that took us to the ruins of Pompeii, a two night stay in the cute town of Sorrento and a day trip to the Island of Capri. It was a lovely, lovely way to end our time in Italy.
The colorful boats and buildings in the harbor of Capri made a nice picture. We hopped off the ferry and onto a smaller boat that gave us a water tour around part of the Island.
It was a beautiful day.
There were many caves visible from the water.
We traveled up the steep road of the Island to the small towns of Capri and Anacapri.
Clear blue water of the Mediterranean Sea.
View from a terrace in Capri.
From the town of Anacapri we took a chair rail ride to the top to the Island.
We could see the large rocks that we had taken the boat through earlier in the day.
The following day we enjoyed wandering from our hotel, Grand Ambasciatori, through the quaint streets of Sorrento and down to its fishing harbor.
Our hotel was situated right on a cliff. There were beautiful views from every window. That is Mt. Vesuvius and Naples in the background.
At this point my camera had died so Bob used his phone to take pictures. That is why I am in so many of the pictures in Sorrento.
Sorrento was a delightful little town with cute streets, plazas and cafes. We continued our gelato tastings and it was in Sorrento that we found our favorite gelato.
Look at the laundry hanging out the windows. It just adds to the charm.
If I ever come back to Italy, I would love to return to this area again. It was the PERFECT ending to our time in Italy. Ciao!
