Naples Part 2

So I think we left off before we were going to the Island of Capri.
It turns out that the weather reports were actually correct, so the trip to Capri was the highlight (weather and travel) highlight of our trip. Capri was amazing compared to the homeless/trash/dog crap ridden city of Naples. Although it really reminded me of Catalina (an island off the coast of Southern California), it was a nice trip. The water was really blue, the sun was shining, and it was a really just a good fun day.

The next day, Alex left us to go to Rome to fly to Budapest. Ryan and I decided to make a day trip to a resort town on the coast of Italy called Sorrento. There really wasn't much to do there because we were in the off season, but again it was really mountainous with sharp drops, which made the views pretty cool. It was a mix of sunshine and drizzle rain, but again it was much better than the first two days.

Our last full day, Ryan and I went to the Amalfi Coast, which apparently in the summer time is ridiculously filled with tourists. The coastline here was even more steep than in Sorrento, and the roads were tiny.... We were in a big bus for about 40 people and it was really fun in a death defying sort of way to traverse it; sometimes having to back up on it so cars and other busses could get past us. We took about a 10km walk along those roads, sometimes almost getting smacked by side view mirrors. Once we got to the small bus station there it started to rain and we took the bus back and ened our trip. We went out that night to an Irish pub with some Aussie girls and some british people. Good times.

So, tomorrow I leave for Prague, Bratislava, and Zagreb. I should be back on the 21st of March.
