Day 16: Capri

Our last day of touring...can hardly believe it's been over 2 weeks!
Today we got up early, packed the bus, and headed to the ferry port to catch our ferry from Sorrento to the Island of Capri. It was a quick ride (30 min) and then we literally walked off of our ferry and got on a private boat that took us around the islands, saw some caves/grottos, amazing rock formations...just enjoyed an hour on our boat.
Once back to the mainland, we hopped on the funicular and went to the village at the top. We wandered the streets, enjoying some window shopping, seeing the beautiful flowers along the way, and ending at the other edge of the island for an amazing over-look.  Wow...pretty close to paradise! We grabbed some paninis for lunch and had about 2+ hrs of free time, so we headed to the beach.  Finally!  Some 'leisure' on our 'Europe at Leisure' tour!!
After some more gelato, we boarded our Ferry to Naples (1hr).  Once in Naples, our driver Salvatore picked us up and back on the road to Rome we went.  We had dinner upon our arrival in Rome and then off to the hotel.  Had a nice farewell meeting with Mario, sharing our favorite moments, places, etc...
Then, we got the fun news of our changed flights.  Due to a fire in Terminal 3 in Rome over a month ago, we were rebooked and now fly direct into Chicago!  Quite excited for a direct flight!!

Until the next post...which will be from the USA!!
