Boat Trip to Sorrento
... nice and we choose a different street as we get closer to the BNB. Lots of shops, and free Limoncello tasting and we pass the Sorrento Men's club where the towns nobles used to meet. Now it is a retreat for working class retired gentlemen and is strictly no women and no phones ( I guess so they can't get called home). Its right near our BNB and we are soon home for the night. The weather report says rain tomorrow so we will get up and plan our day based on the ...

During the swim around the cove though, there was an extremely stong current that tended to push you back into the the rocks that we jumped ...
Capri.... beautiful island!
... had some authentic Italian food! Our seafood pasta and risotto was 10/10!!! We then did a 1-hr walk over the mountain through Capri-Centre to get to the ferry pick-up point to head back to our campsite.
The next morning we were up early (8am for holiday folk), checked Jabula over quickly and then hit the stunning Amalfi coast! It is quite incredible to me that 1) they build roads perched ...
