Our Italian Adventure: Boat to Capri

We left Sorrento early this morning for Capri. The pictures tell a thousand words!
We've hired two Tornado boats to ferry us the island, about a 35-45 minute ride. Capri is one of the truly loveliest places to visit. Annacapria is the city is on the top of this hill--the hike wasn't for the faint hearted--it's a long way up with lots of steps but the views are breathtaking. So we took taxis! There are small shops, restaurants, coffee shops and gelato shops. For the faint hearted, there was a funicular.

We returned to our boats and make our way to Amalfi, Italy's oldest maritime republic. Amalfi today continues to enchant its visitors. It is just over 3 square miles of devastatingly beautiful scenery at the mouth of the valley Mulini. Amalfi's typically Mediterranean architecture, made up of lanes and characteristic white houses piled one upon the other, makes it one of Italy's most famous resorts. This is one of Dad's favorite places and was where many movies have been filmed, including Under the Tuscan Sun and A Good Woman. The pictures tell a thousand words!
