Sunday we took a ferry over to Capri from Sorrento. Capri is basically a huge tourist trap. It was crazy, full of so many tourists, almost all of them either American or Japanese. The island is beautiful, dont get me wrong, but it was hard to enjoy the whole time. Crazy lines for busses and trolly cars up the island made it tough to stand!
The blue grotto is the main attraction, so we wanted to do that, but it was closed because the tide was high, so instead we took a boat around the island. Then we took a chair lift up Monte Solaro, the highest mountain on the island. The best part, though, was the one hour long hike back down the mountain that we decided to take. It was great! No one else had this idea, I guess, because we were the only ones on the trail. We loved the views and even got some advice from a local man walking with his dog who told us to take a detour and visit a beautiful church down the path. It was very nice and one of the highlights of the trip so far.
Afterwards, we headed back to Sorrento. We sat out on our balcony to rest from the day, then packed since Monday we had planned to head to Rome. that is a whole other story though . . .
