After another delicious, traditional breakfast we hopped on the bus and traveled to the port area in Naples. We walked by a few older buildings before we arrived at the port to catch our ferry to Capri. It had stormed there the day before so we were happy the ferry was running and we would get to see the island.

The boat ride was about 50 minutes south to the island of Capri. Although it was safe to travel, the ride was very choppy. That was fun for a while…until it wasn’t anymore. The crew came through with barf bags and as they predicted, many passengers got sick before we reached the Capri dock. Luckily, once we were on solid ground and could feel the fresh air on our faces, everyone instantly started feeling better. We only had a few minutes to ourselves before we hopped onto the sight-seeing boat that would take us around the Northeast corner of the island to show us the beautiful rock formations on that part of the coast before returning to the main dock. We stayed on the boat’s top deck where we could feel the sun and wind on our faces, making us feel so much better.

Around the last corner, we saw the famous set of three rocks captured in every painting of Capri. Seeing this view from the water with the sun shining was worth the effort to get there!

Back on the island, we took trams up to a lookout area where we grabed some coffee and snacks. While we were there hanging out a storm was rolling through. Watching from inside a café we saw how the sky turned dark and the thunder echoed ominously. Luckily, the storm rolled out just as fast as it rolled in and we could get back to appreciating the beautiful views

After our lengthy visit to Capri, we boarded the ferry again and traveled east for about 25 minutes to Sorrento. This ferry ride was much smoother and enjoyable. We only had about an hour to explore, so we walked down some quaint streets and enjoyed a small area close to the center of town.

We saw citrus trees everywhere and spotted baskets of Ponderosa lemons everywhere, which are as big as your face! After some shopping and sightseeing, we reconnected with our bus and headed to Salerno for the night. It was dark when we arrived, so we didn’t see the amazing hotel view until the next morning at sunrise after a glorious night’s sleep.
