We have spent the past week at a campsite in Sorrento, Italy. We have spent a few days relaxing as well as taking a few day trips. We walked around the town of Sorrento a couple of days, laid by our pool at our campsite, and then took two day trips, one to Pompeii and one to the island of Capri. Pompeii is famous for it's ancient ruins. Mt Vesuvius erupted thousands of years ago and buried the town of Pompeii in volcanic ash preserving a lot of the buildings. We took a tour around the site with a guide and found it quite interesting. We also took a tour to the island of Capri which is about an hour by boat. We were able to visit the blue grotto which is a cave reached from the water by row boats and when inside the water looks royal blue. Expensive for a 5 minute tour but it was really beautiful. Also on our boat tour they took us around the island showing us other sights. We spent our day on the island lying on the beach and enjoying the beautiful seascape. This was our last stop in Italy. Tomorrow we head off to Greece. We have really loved Italy and all the great sights and food!
