Sorrento and Capri

Wednesday we took the train a few stops in the other direction from Naples to the town of Sorrento.

Sorrento is really nice.  It's famous for wood working, and for the fact that it's sort of the northern tip of the Amalfi Coast, which is a gorgeous region of coastline that's considered a national treasure of Italy.

The towns around this area are all up on the hillside, just like where we're staying in Vico Equense.  After touring around Sorrento for a little while, picking up a few souvenirs for folks, we hopped on the ferry to the island town of Capri.

About 20 minutes later we were greeted by the beautiful city of Capri:

Near the dock on Capri, they have a "funicular", which is just a train that scales the side of the hill.  The main area of the town is up on top:

Capri is a pretty high end ritzy resort area, but being that it's the off season, it wasn't overly crowded.  I wouldn't mind renting a place on the island for a few days just to relax, as the views are obviously gorgeous.
