Capri Italy

The island of Capri is a beautiful one. Here is just a few pictures that I thought everyone would enjoy. We are off and headed to the Island  This is a Italy Coast Guard boat. Once a Coastie, always a Coastie.  It looks like, they don't want cars driven into the water.  The roads are very narrow. This is a very cute small town.  It was surprising and scary at how close the drivers would get to each other.  Picture from the top of the island. What a view!!!!  This is how big the buses are, on this tiny little island. Headed to the famous Blue Grotto Sunlight, passing through an underwater cavity and shining through the seawater, creates a blue reflection that illuminates the cavern The water gets a darker blue the further you go in.  After the Grotto, boarded the boat that would be taking us back to Sorrento, Italy.    ...

Stops in Italy, Pompeii

There's only a few more stops till I head back to the good ole US of A. One of the stops was Pompeii . This was a very interesting stop. Its amazing to see what had survived after so many years. I would recommend trying to be in with one of the first tour groups. This is only opened for a few hours in the morning, then a few hours in the late afternoon. There were sooooo many people as the day went on. There is a small street market to shop while you wait for it to open and some good places to eat. Even in 79 A.D there was a red light district. Yes, you do see something in the bottom right corner, hehe That's how you know where you were at. The tile patterns are so pretty and unique. The pattern below tells you, who's house you are at. Its what was used as an address. Some pottery that had survived    The roof of one of the many bath houses Statues like this can be found in the rich homes and was used...
