Island of Capri

We took a boatride to the Island of Capri. It is about 18 square kilometers so it is quite small. The boat ended up taking us all the way around the island so we were able to take in all the sites. We got off the boat and had 5 hours to explore. We took a cab up to a chairlift that took us to a lookout point over the island. The chairlift was a single person chairlift thatclimbs almost 600 meters in elevation and its duration is 14 minutes. The ride up offered some amazing views and they keep getting better as we got higher. The view from the lookout was breathtaking. On the way back down I enjoyed the views again as I ate my sandwhich. It was a great combination - awesome views and awesome sandwhich.

After the chairlift I walked out to a villa of an ancient emporor which also had a fantastic view. I was then introduced to a new Australian craze called planking. Planking is the act of lying down completely flat (like a plank, duh!) on an odd object or interesting location and taking a picture. Once you have the pic you upload it for the world to see.

My best attempt at planking

I had some amazing gelato and lemon cookies before heading back to boat and back to Sorrento. When we sat down to eat dinner it began to pour cats and dogs. Luckily by the time we were done the rain had stopped (second time this trip I avoided the rain!).
