Sorrento, Capri & the Countryside
 

Leaving Sorrento to get on the boat to go to the island of Capri

View of Vesuvius on the boat on the way to Capri.

As our ferry was about to land at the dock, I noticed a bunch of stuff next to the pier.

 

It turned out to be thousands and thousands of jellyfish!

 

Phoenician steps. Built by the Greeks. 827 steps from San Michele to Anacapri.

Looking at the port from above.

 

German fort from World War 2.

 

Old Roman ruins.

 

 

Everywhere you look on Capri, it is like you are looking at a postcard.

We got on the chairlift to go to the top of Mount Solara. At the top is a 360 degree view of the island.

12 minutes up, and 12 minutes down. A little nerve wracking.

 

Terraces were all the way up the mountainside.

 

 

 

Statue of Emperor Augustus at the top of Mount Solaro. We didn't know who it was so we nicknamed him Steve.

 

 

On the way down.

 

 

At the top of this steep cliff is the Gerber Mansion. Yep, baby food.

 

Zoom in of Gerber Mansion.

 

The symbol of Capri- Rocks of Faraglioni

Walking around Capri, we came to this HUGE cactus.

 

It was over 2 stories tall!

 

I can't figure this one out. We were walking along and there it was... Tattoo! Herve Villechaize! Go figure.

 

Large tile map of Capri.

Our tour guide for the island. Reno.

 

The countryside on the way back to Rome to end our trip. Incredible places on cliff sides.

 

 
Nettuno & Anzio

Our last major stop on our trip was the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery & Memorial.

The cemetery contains 7,861 graves of fallen military including 490 unknown soldiers.

We went to visit the grave of an old friend of Ramsey's. He had no family left when he died in the battle of Cassino. His name was Frances R. Sinclair.

 

 

 
Barry & I would like to thank Dad for giving us this opportunity for this 'Trip of a Lifetime'. We really had a wonderful time. We do also think that it is just wrong that he had more energy than all of us put together!
