10/1/07 Current location- Sorrento, Italy

Getting ready to go into the Blue Grotto - laying flat, the opening is about 2' high and just fits the height of the row boat.

We love Sorrento! What a fun and lively town. More scooters and Vespas that I have ever seen in my life, but watch out- there are no traffic signals in the entire town and pedestrians definitely do NOT have the right of way.

Anyway, I'll update you on our final day in Capri. The trek to "Villa Jovis" yesterday was, I think, the most strenuous workout I have ever had. Great for toning your calves, bad for your knees. It was almost an hour straight up hill, but the views and the houses along the way were so beautiful. There are no roads to top, which is wild if you think of the people who live there and have to do that every single day. We decided that we would definitely invest in a couple of Jazzy's (electric wheelchairs) if we lived there. Tiberius' villa was interesting as well, especially if you consider that people have been traipsing through the same rooms as we did for the past (almost) 2,000 years. It's incredible that the walls are still standing. We had a great lunch complete with pinot gris and then headed back to the marina for a boat tour. We ended up hiring a private boat so that we could see everything that we wanted at our own pace. The trip around the island was breathtaking and our captain was very good at pointing everything out. We went into all of the grottos and even went swimming through the green grotto while we waited for our captain to pick us up on the other side!!

We then bought tickets and boarded the hydrofoil to Sorrento. Managed to find the correct bus which dropped us off at the main piazza. Our hotel is steps away from there and we then set off for exploring the town and had another delicious dinner. Ted, always the observer, noted that all of the restaurants seemed to have pasta on the menu! No, seriously?! Pasta?! In Italy?! He then backtracked with some fact about pasta being from China, not Italy. Anyway...

Okay, now it it Monday morning. We are getting ready to board the bus to Positano for a day at the beach!!
