Yesterday was the last day on the Legend of the Seas and we spent most of it docked at Naples Italy.
Our friends and we decided to take a hydro-foil across the Mediterranean to the beautiful Isle of Capris. Unfortunately the water was so rough, many of the passengers on the 50 minute ride became very sick. It took about an hour after landing to regain our strength again. But with a couple of 5 Euro Sprites and a bit of Dramamine (Gravol) we were ready to ride up the cliffs by Funicular (cablecar) to see the spectacular view.
The ultra expensive town is built into the mountainside with narrow stone streets winding throughout.
All we could afford was a couple of very authentic pizzas when we had hiked to the top, but they were worth the trip! Capris with its awesome view was a must see destination
Another shot of medicine and an equally rough ride back returned us to the ship. We arrived in time to eat again and pack up for our departure
Saturday morning we were up early to disembark. About 9 we headed by car down the Italian Coast, a couple of hours to the small picturesque Seaside village of Sperlonga. Our hotel balcony overlooks a sandy beach and the Mediterranean Sea. I won't say how beautiful and inexpensive it is because too many tourists would spoil the local flavor. 3 huge meals a day costs an extra 3 Euros for the day!
We'll stay here for the duration of our vacation to rest after an exhausting cruise. We'll read and write a few more sermons. Blessings to all you are still at home working!
