Isle of Capri

Isle of Capri

We had some great weather for the Isle of Capri which is about a 25 minute ferry ride from Sorrento.  It’s was a pretty popular place when we visited 10 years ago.  When the ferry landed this trip, it seemed there were crowds everywhere in the port.  But, one thing has not changed is the beauty of the place.

We didn’t stay long in port as we wanted to get a boat tour around the island.  This is a must-do activity.  Once in our boat, crowds and lines disappear and the striking beauty is easy to get to.

Getting a good seat for filming was the only problem.  Even from a marginal seat, there were still lots of photo ops.

The water is amazingly clear and blue.  In a contest with the sky, the sea won hands down.

There is a photo op almost everywhere on this island.  It looks like three person selfies might be a little harder than singles and doubles.  

After the island boat ride, we were going to use the bus system to get us to the other side of the island and do some other things.  Unfortunately, the large crowds made bus travel too slow.  So we took the town funicular to climb above the port and visit the city center.  It is a bit chaotic when there are too many people for the transportation systems to handle.  We did make it back to Sorrento as the sun was going down thinking we had a very good day in Capri.
