The past 2 days have been busy and filled with 14,000 steps per day, a lot of them up hill or steps. Yesterday we went to the island of Capri, known as a playground for the rich and famous. Filled with high end shops and gorgeous hotels. We did site inspections at 2 of them. We visited the cities of Capri and AnaCapri. Beautiful viewpoints all around the island but the most scary hairpin turns on a minibus coming within inches of oncoming vehicles. Then we took the ferry for 1.5 hrs to Salerno where we spend the next 3 nights. Today we left the hotel at 9 am and just returned at 11 pm. Filled with yet more walking around the main city and Old Salerno. Did a couple more hotel site inspections and finished the eve with a traditional pizzeria dinner in one of the city squares. It was so cool. Many side by side restaurants, all with outdoor patios and tons of families all there. A typical Friday night! Noisey as heck, inside the restaurant the staff all yelling orders and at each other....just like the movies. The first 4 days have been exhausting but wonderful. Going to a farm tomorrow to learn how to make buffalo mozzarella!!
