Today we set off to explore the nearby island of Capri. Extremely unusually for us we had to set an alarm because the ferry was due to leave at 8:15am, a time we rarely see these days 🙂
We had pre purchased the return ferry tickets from our genial campsite host for the sum of €80.20 and we were waiting on the dock in good time for the ferry. We arrived in Capri around 10am following a change of ferry in Sorrento. The port was already extremely busy.
Herculaneum was a wealthy ancient Roman city that was engulfed by the same pyroclastic flow from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that consumed nearby Pompeii in AD79.
Today we drove over toward Naples to visit the archaeological site.
Today we gathered up our nerves and once again ventured into the misery that is driving on Italian roads. We wanted to casually drive the Amalfi coast, stop for photographs, and maybe have some lunch. The route was approximately 85km.
