Sorrento/Capri

Day 3 of our tour and it has been going great. The first night was in Rome but we only got a bus tour of the city because we're spending 3 days there the last 3 days. First thing in the morning we drove to Naples to go to Pompeii. It was so crazy and cool to see all the old ruins and how well preserved it was. We had a tour guide for our group so it was nice to learn what we were actually looking at. After that we drove to Sorrento and got a few hours to look around and explore the city. 
This is our view from the bus as we were driving down the hill to Sorrento. We went to a group dinner to a local pizzeria and even got to watch them make pizza in the kitchen. The next day we caught the ferry to Capri and spent most of the day there. First we got a 2 hour boat ride around the island. We got to see the White grotto and got to swim through the Green Grotto. It was SOO amazing. The water is crystal clear, unlike you'd never believe. After the boat ride we had a few hours to explore Capri. I took a hike with a few other people and got to see some incredible views. After I explored the city and window shopped all the high end Italian designers. Spent the last hour relaxing at the beach!! Later that night we had a full 3 course Italian dinner at an incredible restaurant overlooking the water as the sunset. 
This is our view from dinner. First thing this morning we left for Florence. We were supposed to stop in Tuscany for wine tasting but since our bus broke down for about an hour and half, we rescheduled the wine tasting on our way back to Rome at the end of the tour. Having a great time and our full Italian tour guide and bus driver are full Italain and they are crazy!!! Listening to them talk (argue) on the bus in Italian is quite entertaining! As you can see our days are jammed packed and busy!! Try to update as often as I can!!!
