Capri, Sorrento, Pompeii

Its been difficult trying to access the internet here. On the ship connection was slow and here in Barcelona we´ve been told that there are sometimes problems with Macs. Will try to keep writing and publish when we are connected.


A tour: all three in one day. Just a tease so we have to come back. Our crazy Italian guide Luca was a trip. He made sure we were the first on the hydrofoil (“Sit by the door so we can get out right away.”), and the first up the funicular so we wouldn’t have to wait for the other hoards of cruise ship tourists. Capri is stunning. In fact the whole coast is stunning. We had lunch in Sorrento. The views from those cliffs must be amazing. Had a quick walk, and then jumped on a bus to Pompeii. It probably would have been smarter to do this in the morning…the heat was brutal. According to Luca, things are deteriorating quickly so it’s a good thing one third of it has not yet been uncovered. It was a bit different than what I expected…not really like the pics. The only bodies we saw were 2 enclosed in glass cases. Luca spent most of the time pointing out the phalluses and discussing the houses of ill repute. He thinks he was born in the wrong time.
Unlike the previous stops, no cats here just lots and lots of stray dogs.
