Capri

After breakfast in our Sorrento hotel, our group packed into a local transport bus as we no longer had Alesandro as our bus driver as the group would be breaking into different groups for either trips home or onto an extended trip locations.   The bus took us down to the harbor where we boarded a hydrofoil boat which zipped us over to the island of Capri in the Mediterranean sea.  Before boarding the boat though we had to say our goodbyes to Rebecca for she was headed home to Naples after she turned us over to another day guide, Mario.  Mario showed us around the key points of interest of the absolutely beautiful island of Capri and while we didn't have time to go clear to the top of the mountain on the island we did tour around and eat lunch a good way up the mountain with spectatular views of the ocean and town.  Lunch on Capri was one of Robert's favorite meals on the trip... i believe he and a few others even had 3rds.

This trip also had the optional package of taking a boat around the island to see the island from a different vantage point- and by lunch all of our group decided to make the trip so Mario and a local boat driver took us around the island to view their magnificent teal blue water including a few caves/caverns around the island while they told us more about the local history of the island.  For many in our group this was one of their favorite places to visit- esp as we had about 45 min of free time to swim in the sea of the Mediterranean with its warm salt water where you could float around at ease.  We probably would have stayed in the water all day if we had a chance.  Unfortunately for Robert we did learn that prescription sun glasses do not float well and someday some other tourist may find them.

Mario took us back to the hydrofoils after and we zipped along back to Sorrento.  What a great day!
