On the way from Rome to Sorrento we stopped
and toured Pompeii, a Roman city that was destroyed by an eruption
from Mt. Vesuvius in 69 A.D. This is a must. While crowded, it was
very interesting and the ruins are very well preserved. I have heard
that the nearby ruins of Herculean are even better.

A beautiful town, but crowded with tourists, Sorrento was our
departure point for the Isle of Capri.

The isle of Capri. A pretty spot but very expensive. Consider it the Carmel of Italy. If you get to the Isle of Capri, be sure to go to another town, Anacapri, and visit the Villa St. Michele. Villa St. Michele was the home of Dr. Axel Munthe, a physician / renaissance man / humanitarian who built a gorgeous villa overlooking the ocean and has set up a philanthropic foundation. |

We really enjoyed the island of Capri. |

Walking around Capri, go ahead and get lost among the winding streets and enjoy the flowers. |
