Capri

We took a ferry to Capri for the day. It was such a cool island and we (Amy, Julie, Will and I) all enjoyed the day on the island. Although I thought the Amalfi coast was better, Capri was extremely beautiful.

I stupidly left the flash on in the actual Grotto so the picture inside didn't come out that great... sorry.

We rented a car for the day... unfortunately the weather wasn't nice enough to really use the convertible so we felt a little stupid riding around in this tiny little car, but we still had fun. Although I've loved all of my travels here, this one was definitely one of the most beautiful and inspiring places I've visited. It was so cool, and you definitely couldn't experience it properly without renting a car or getting a car hire.

Sorrento

Dates: April 16th – 19th



Sorrento was absolutely beautiful. Our hostel, Seven Hostel was a really nice hostel in Sant’Agnello, Italy. It is about a 30 to 45 minute walk from Sorrento, but it wasn’t bad at all. The hostel was really nice and inexpensively priced. We were there for a few days so the walks weren’t that bad, plus one day we went to Capri and the other day we drove around the Amalfi coast.

Sorrento was a nice little town and of course had great food! Everyone had a really good time and thoroughly enjoyed this leg of the trip, even though we were all getting a little bit tired of traveling... we were going on our 3rd week of our trips and were living out of a carry-on sized suitcase.

From Bari to Sorrento

Date: April 16

We arrived in Bari, Italy early in the morning and had to walk to the car rental place to get a car we could take to Sorrento. It was just as expensive and took much longer to travel by bus or train so we figured it would be more fun to rent a car. So, we did. However, when we got to where the car rental place was supposed to be... it had closed 2 months before! Luckily, a woman at a Best Western was able to direct us to another car rental agency near the train stations. We had to walk for probably another 20 to 30 minutes to get to this one. But, we finally did and go the car to drive to Sorrento.

Of course, the only car they had available was a manual. And being the only person who was 21, I was the only one who could drive the car. I've learned that I've gotten better at driving stick than I used to be, so it wasn't a problem. Smartest thing we did though, was renting a GPS. We would've been in trouble without it.

It took us about 3 hours to drive across Italy, and everything went quite smoothly. The best part of the drive was between Napoli and Sorrento. The countryside was absolutely amazing, and the tiny roads snaked along the cliffs right next to the water. It was an extremely cool place to see. Driving was definitely a better choice than taking a train... I'll explain later about the trains in Italy.

Anyways, we found our hotel fine and returned the car later in the day. It was definitely a good end to a long trip from Greece.
