Capri

 Have you ever climbed to the top of a mountain on an island off the coast of southern Italy? We have! After spending the morning at the archaeological museum in Naples, twelve of us took a day trip to Capri. After figuring out the ferry system, we hopped on an afternoon ferry to the beautiful island about an hour off the coast. The sun was shining and we loved getting some fresh air. When we got there we were amazed at the beautiful island and the town that we could see at the top of the mountain. We immediately knew that we had to go as high as possible to fully experience Capri, so we followed the winding roads and steep staircases until we all broke a sweat. Props to Mary for tackling the quest with a broken foot! We got so excited when we saw signs pointing to the center of town, and our exhaustion was replaced with excitement. At the center of the island was an amazing town square with the cutest jewelry shops, gelaterias and clothing stores. We did some shopping and explored, taking in the amazing view and how high we had climbed. At the end of the day we took a bus down the mountain and caught a ferry back to Naples. New jewelry, bonding time with the girls and one beautiful island? Definitely made for one of the best experiences we’ve had so far!
