We were supposed to take a boat from Naples to Capri, but the water was to rough. So instead, we took the motorcoach to Sorrento in order to get on a boat there. Because it was a Sunday, the main streets in Sorrento were closed for pedestrians. Luckily our driver, Giuseppe, lives in Sorrento, so he was able to get us to the docks in a very scenic, but round-about drive.
At Capri, the water was too choppy to go inside the Blue Grotto, so instead we visited the Villa San Michele. A little after 2pm, we got on the boat and headed back to Sorrento where we did some shopping and had an optional excursion dinner (an antipasto of ham of fresh mozzarella and other vegetables, 2 types of pasta, 3 types of pizza, and a lemon cake). Sorrento is famous for it's limoncello, a liqueur made from lemons. It is very strong, but I liked it so I bought a bottle. I also had two shots at dinner (it was an after dinner drink, and my mother didn't want hers).
After dinner, we drove back to Naples.
