I did this trip through a tour company, so I didn't have to plan anything, which was very nice and stress-free. We left Thursday night at 11pm and got to our hostel around 2:30. Only 4 hours of sleep awaited me, because we were on our way to Capri at 8am. Capri was absolutely beautiful!! We took a boat-tour around the island and went into the Blue Grotto. After a lengthy climb to Anacapri, there was a limoncello and chocolate tasting at a very cute store that also sold custom hand-made sandals. Then I ventured around for a while and took a chairlift to the very top of the island where even more stunning views were waiting. Heading back down to the port, I walked down 1,000 stairs and met a nice Welsh family along the way. For dinner we headed into the center of Sorrento.
On Saturday, we got to sleep in and were on our bus to Positano at 10. The day was filled with sun and sand. We had the option of shelling out an additional 10 euro to go on a boat ride to cliff jump and cave swim. I figured "why not?" and went. It was pretty fun and very safe, so no worries there. Seeing as most people were jumping off the cliffs, I didn't get a picture of myself on my camera, but there may be one out there in the world. Later that night, we had a buffet-style dinner at the hostel and I met two Canadians who were on a trek around Europe.
Today, we went to Pompei. It was awesome. There was an optional guided tour and my guide was incredible. Maybe it's because I've gotten used to 4-hour classes, but the tour went really quickly despite the heat. For lunch, I got a pizza, because how can you not when you're in the birth place of pizza? Then we all got back on the bus and headed out for Rome.
It was a great weekend, and I'm glad I went. Going made me realize how much I want to get to Spain and finally not have to think about anything related to school for a while!
