Remember 6th Grade Social Studies? Remember reading about Pomeii and seeing the pictures of the petrified people? Remember thinking "why do I need to know this? I will never get to see it." Well, we got to see it. It was actually pretty amazing and oddly educational. It was interesting to hear Mt. Saint Helens referenced as a comparison of what happened at Pompeii. Also, our guide looked a bit like Luke Wilson. His name was Luca. Hmm...
From Pompeii, we hopped a bus to Sorrento. It was very picturesque and is what I think of when I think of southern Italy. From the terraces of homes and shops, to the steep roads and staircases down to the sea. We loved our time there and were thinking that nothing could top this.
Then we boarded a jet-foil to the island of Capri. This topped Sorrento! We went up the hill and spent most of the time in a village overlooking the port. It was fantastic. Our time there was way too short.
One of the things we love about cruises is that you go a visit all these different places and find places where you will want to go back and spend a full vacation. Sorrento and Capri are places like this. We will go back.
