napoli.

Today was a filled day with lots of various sites to see in our short time left. To begin the day, we took a hydrofoil to the glamourous island of Capri, Italy. 


We walked to one of the highest points on the island in the ‘Gardini Augusto.’  Here are some pictures from views in paradise.




Of course, Capri is known for the shopping - although it’s all too expensive to actually buy.


Eating some Nutella Gelato in the Funicolar square before heading to Sorrento for lunch.


Next, we headed to the city of Pompeii, which is a partially buried Roman city that was completely buried from the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD.  These ruins were lost for hundreds of years before it was rediscovered in 1749.




A paved street - the elevated stones were used to walk across the street without getting their feet wet when it rains.


The forum of the town and political centers.




Before leaving this Italian merchant, Antonio, insisted that I take this picture with him and the lemons that we saw all across Italy.
