So, I'm on my own today. You'd think I'd get something of a sleep in, but the walls are so thin here I can hear everything going on next door. I was awake around seven, but I was able to doze for a while, do some washing and read my book. Around ten, when I was half way through Dan Brown's 'The Lost Symbol' which I started yesterday, I realized I needed to go out. So all on my lonesome, I jumped on the bus and headed out.

You got a full three sixty of the island. We had a bit of free time to explore the top and it turned out to be a good thing we started so early. There w...

We had a lazy day today. We had to have our bags out by eight fifteen but since we had nowhere to be, we could have a sleep in. Then we wandered Sorrento and ate ice-cream and shopped. Around three we all headed to the docks and jumped on a boat headed for Capri. Nothing planned here this afternoon, just time to explore the area and meet up for dinner. We had planned to head out to see the night life. But with the early start tomorrow we'll put that off till tom...
