Capri

Over the weekend a group of us decided to take a trip to the Amalfi Coast. On Saturday we took a boat out to Capri (picture above) which is only twenty minutes away from our bungalow in Sorrento. While visiting the beaches and amazing views from Capri, a group of us walked up at least three hundred steps to get to the main road and town of Capri. Along that shopping strip there were many shops and restaurants with wonderful views at all angles. The stores included clothing, high end jewelry, glass vases and bowls, and shoes. Most of the stores were pricier than some of the stores in Rome. However, down near the beach area there was little stands that offered an array of collection of jewelry in different colors. I had bought a bracelet for about five euro. So needless to say these type of stands that are randomly placed on the island are cheaper than some of the small shops along the main stretch of the town. But, these small stands still offer nice looking souvenirs to remind you of a place where you had visited.
