I would not use the word serene to describe Sorrento, those are Rick Steve's words. It's Italy, watch out for cars if you walk, pray if you are driving along a steep coastline. We had a brutally busy day yesterday, and were thankful that today was a free day to experience things on your own.
While waiting for a ferry boat for Capri, we could look out over the Sorrento harbor at Mount Vesuvius.
View from our open taxi on the way up a virtual cliff on the way to Anacapri, a small town on the island of Capri.
Once in Anacapri we ventured out on our own, finding quiet neighborhood paths that wandered up the mountain to beautiful homes and wonderful vistas.
We got on the wrong bus to Capri, so had to take the funicular from Capri to its harbor to catch a boat back to Sorrento. Oh well, lots of time to enjoy the scenery.
Capri's marina.
Yesterday's word of the day: scavi or excavations in Italian. Italy certainly has a lot of these.
Today's word: uscita
Hint: Better know where this is when traveling.
