Day Five - September 22, 2008 - Sorrento & Capri, Italy


Capri, Italy

This morning we had an hour of free time in Piazza Tasso. We purchased some gifts and a piece of inlaid wood before we caught the ferry over to the Isle of Capri. What a beautiful place! Different color boats line the shore with a bunch of multi-colored houses. We then took the funicular up to Capri Town. A bit crowded but a nice place for the 7 of us not taking the excursion to go to. We enjoyed anti-pasta and caprese salad for lunch and then walked around Capri Town a bit. Then we headed down to the shore and had drinks by the water.
We left late afternoon and headed back to Sorrento for dinner at Pizza a Metro. They claim to have invented pizza! The pizzas came out and were at least four feet long! We had a variety; one with tomatoes, another with tomatoes and sausage, and another with broccoli, mushrooms and green tomatoes. Amber, Jeff and I shared 2 bottles of wine and ate WAAAY too much pizza! [During dinner a thunder and lightening storm came out of nowhere and we ran laughing and giggling back to the bus as we all got drenched.]
After dinner [and back at the hotel] we had "Crema di Lemone" aka Cream Limoncello - tasty! My faves in Sorrento (besides the awesome view from our hotel) were the olive oil and limoncello. Tomorrow - Pompeii!
