Capri, Italy

In 2007, we took a FABULOUS Mediterranean cruise. We were gone 15 days in total and I highly recommend this vacation to everyone. You wake up everyday in a new wonderful place and you didn't have to slep your stuff all over the place or spend precious hours waiting in airports or train stations. One of the places we stopped was Naples, Italy. From there we took a boat to Capri. My girls absolutely loved Capri. We arrived at this beautiful harbor.

We then took the funicular up to the ritzy shopping area. Valentino, Versace, etc... you get the picture. We just window shopped.

The island is made up of these beautiful little alley ways that you walk along and take in all the sights. It was really hot this day and there were lemonade and lemon cello vendors everywhere. It was really good.
We so wish we could have rented a boat for the day, but there was not enough time. We also wanted to go to the blue grotto, but it was closed because the water was too rough. Alyssa got seasick on the way over, but after awhile she was okay.
We hope to go back someday.
