It's just like the pictures..

The weekend in Sorrento was my favorite trip so far. The drive along the windy roads on the side of the cliffs overlooking the sea was so beautiful. The cliffs, the rocks, the crystal clear(really) water, the boats coming into the harbors of each tiny little town, the tiny wooden boats painted all sorts of primary colors with their oars relaxed, and the precious little stucco villas built practically into the cliffs could create a palate of a thousand different shades of yellow and orange, all proved that it is true... It really does look like the pictures in the magazines!

Sorrento was beautiful, we walked to an overlook as soon as we got there just in time for the sunset. We saw several new brides having their picture made with the sunset in the background..
We had a wonderful dinner where the waiter spoke english and on our way back to the hotel, there was a parade in the center, so we followed (and joined) the parade for a while.. I love small towns... especially italian ones.

The next morning we woke up early and bought a ticket to take the ferry to the island of Capri.

When we stepped off of the boat, I couldn't believe I was actually seeing with my own eyes. It looks just like the pictures in the coffee table books and the magazines. Perfect little streets, tourists, lots of shops, fishing boats... A few of us took a train to the top of the island to the actual town of Capri. Everyone there looked famous, we found out later that Richard Gere was there but we didn't see him. We walked to the end of a little street that had an overlook at the end next to a hotel where Churchill used to bring people.


Words don't begin to justify the view.
We spent the entire day at Capri, shopping and looking at the coral jewelry that Capri is known for, then took the late ferry in.
The next day we spent in Sorrento, looking at the shops and the leather market. I love to bargin prices with vendors even if I don't buy anything... haha. I know my dad is laughing.
