Capri and Sorrento

Our first day in Naples we boarded another boat in the pouring rain and sailed to Capri.  This was the only ugly weather day we had.  Not bad for a 28 day trip!  Our second day in Naples, the sun was out for most of the day...at least we got back to the ship before it started raining!

 The fort protecting the city of Naples.  I believe every island/port we visited in the Mediterranean had a fort or at least giant walls all seemingly built by the Venetians.  They were a well traveled people!

 

City of Naples - a mix of old and new.

Statue of Neptune

Looking back at the main Capri marina from the top of the mountain where the shops and hotels are.

Path back to the ocean.  We rode the cable car.

Tiny streets - typical of the islands.  The "cars" are a little bigger than an over-sized golf cart and used only for deliveries.

Example of local artist tile work...yes we brought some home!  Just not this big!

Back on the mainland, this is Sorrento.  Not many pictures worth sharing from today...

Another view of Sorrento. 

However, my next post will be about Pompeii.  This picture was taken from Capri looking back to Naples with Vesuvius in the background.  Amazing the mountain lost 50-60% of it's cone during the eruption.  Mind boggling...
