Capri

This morning Sean, Meredith and I headed to the ferry port to get to Capri. Since the public transportation system workers are on strike everyone was trying to catch a ferry. The station was hectic with no formal line and was simply out of control. But we got a ticket and enjoined the 40 minute ferry ride. The island was beautiful! The town has been built into sheer rock cliffs. There are several underwater caves near by too. But the island is very expensive so we decide just to enjoy the beach.

The beach was a rock beach and the water was a fantastic shade of blue. The rocks were weird to lay on at first but once I got use to it I liked it more than sand. The water was the perfect temperature and was also refreshing. Today was the day where I wish I would have brought snorkel gear. There was a wide variety of fish to see and the water was very clear!

The beach was wonderful and I had plenty of time to observe people, one of my favorite hobbies. On our ferry there was a man who looked identical to Mr Bean which was hilarious. And on the beaches it was interesting to see how free European people are. No one seems to care what the family next to them is doing a long as everyone is respectful. Women no matter what age, weight or body type rock a bikini with confidence. And there is definitely an emphasis on families. Not just a mom, dad and children but grandparents, cousins and other family is included. They spend the entire day together and just have a good time. I also observed why europeans have a general dislike of American tourists, sadly to say some fellow SAS people showed up at the beach inebriated and were simply disgraceful. They were extremely loud, throwing garbage everywhere, and publicly urinating. It made me sad to be traveling with people like this. I just have to accept that some people have different priorities.

Anyway, I enjoyed the sun a little too much today resulting in my first sunburn of the trip but it was well worth it. I have a test on Sunday, so I have some studying to do. And I also have some homework to finish before Croatia. One more day in Naples and then on to other adventures.

Love you all! And thanks for reading!
