Holiday in Italy – Capri
Some years ago, we made an organized tour to Sorrento, Italy. Why Sorrento? We knew that it was a beautiful small town. In 2016 its population was about 16609 inhabitants. Sorrento offered a nice way to make short excursions on one’s own to the nearby places like Capri, Vesuvius and Pompeii. We also visited Naples, but I did not shoot many photos from there and that is why I am not going to post any posts from there.
Although it has passed many years since our visit, it is still in our memory. Capri is an island, where You could visit once in the life time. Same words are valid also for Vesuvius and Pompeii. I could visit Pompeii once more, because I love history and it was full of awesome history.
Welcome to walk with us thru my photos in these three places! This time I show photos of beautiful, but expensive island of Capri. We took a ferry from the harbor of Sorrento to Capri which took about 20 minutes. Because we love walking, we walked to the center of Capri instead of using funicular or bus from Marina Grande. Walking to the center takes only about 30 minutes, depending how many photos You will shoot. The road is steep uphill climb and there are many steps also on the way up. If You will visit Capri, then avoid peak season!

Vacaciones en Italia – Capri
Alguns anos atrás, hicimos un viaje organizado a Sorrento, Italia. ¿Por qué Sorrento? Sabíamos que era una ciudad pequeña y hermosa. En 2016 su población ascendía a 16609 habitantes. Sorrento ofreció una buena manera de hacer excursiones cortas sin ayuda de nadie a lugares cercanos como Capri, Vesubio y Pompeya. También visitamos Nápoles, pero no tomé muchas fotos desde allí y es por eso que no publicaré ninguna publicación desde allí.
Aunque ha pasado muchos años desde nuestra visita, todavía está en nuestra memoria. Capri es una isla, donde se puede visitar una vez en la vida. Las mismas palabras son válidas también para el Vesubio y Pompeya. Pude visitar Pompeya una vez más, porque me encanta la historia y estaba llena de una historia increíble.
Esta vez vos muestro fotos de la hermosa isla de Capri, pero muy cara. Tomamos un ferry desde el puerto de Sorrento a Capri, que tardó unos 20 minutos. Como nos encanta caminar, caminamos hasta el centro de Capri en lugar de usar el funicular o el autobús de Marina Grande. Caminando hacia el centro toma solo unos 30 minutos, dependiendo de cuántas fotos sacarás. El camino es empinado cuesta arriba y hay muchos escalones también en el camino. Si vas a visitar Capri, entonces evita la temporada alta!

Il y a quelques années, quand nous avons fait une tournée organisée à Sorrente, en Italie. Pourquoi Sorrente? Nous savions que c’était une belle petite ville. En 2016, sa population était d’environ 16609 habitants. Sorrente offrait un moyen agréable de faire de courtes excursions de sa propre iniative dans des endroits proches comme Capri, le Vésuve et Pompéi. Nous avons également visité Naples, mais je n’ai pas pris beaucoup de photos à partir de là et c’est pourquoi je ne vais pas publier de messages à partir de là.
Bien que plusieurs années se soient écoulées depuis notre visite, elles sont toujours dans notre mémoire. Capri est une île, où vous pourriez visiter une fois dans la vie. Les mêmes mots valent aussi pour le Vésuve et Pompéi. Je pourrais visiter Pompéi une fois de plus, parce que j’aime l’histoire et il était pleine d’histoire impressionnante.
Cette fois, je vous montre photos de la belle île de Capri, mais très chère. Nous avons pris un ferry du port de Sorrente à Capri qui a pris environ 20 minutes. Parce que nous aimons marcher, nous avons marché jusqu’au centre de Capri au lieu d’utiliser un funiculaire ou un bus de Marina Grande. Marchant au centre ne prend que 30 minutes environ, dependent de la quantité de photos que vous allez prendre. La route est en montée raide et il y a beaucoup de marches à monter. Si vous allez visiter Capri, alors évitez la haute saison!

Como gostamos de caminhar, caminhamos até o centro de Capri, em vez de usar o funicular ou o ônibus de Marina Grande.Caminhando para o centro leva apenas cerca de 30 minutos, dependendo de quantas fotos você vai tirar. A estrada é a subida íngreme para cima e há muitos degraus também no caminho. se você estiver indo para visitar Capri, então evite a alta temporada!

Our visit there was more like 20 years ago, Sartenada, but it’s one that stays in the memory. So much better to avoid the crowds by walking, if you can. Without them the island is a paradise. 🙂 🙂 Wishing you a healthy, happy year of travels.

¡¡¡Feliz Año !!!

Hola Louisa.
Me alegro que te hayan gustado las fotos. Muchas gracias por tus palabras, me dan mucho ánimo. Lo sabía y fue por esta razón cuando visitamos allí en octubre. En Finlandia, la temporada alta es desde mediados de verano hasta mediados de agosto. No es tan malo, que en muchos países.
¡Un gran abrazo y lo mejor para el 2019!

What a delightful excursion! As I see it’s absolutely worth a trip. Matti, I enjoyed the fantastic views but also the impressions of the vegetation. The colourful blossoms as well as conifers like pines and (possibly) araucarias.
Sunshine, blue sky, the sea around …. rather relaxing. Thanks for showing your photos taken on the island of Capri!
Have a nice weekend – Michèle

Hello Michèle.
I am very glad that You loved my photos. These regions offer for a visitor many memorable experiences. Our trip in 2008 was our 20th anniversary wedding holiday trip. I think that very successful. Our 30th anniversary wedding holiday trip, You have seen, when we visited Las Palmas. Thank You leaving Your praising comment.
Happy and healthy New Year 2019 You and Yours!

Great photos. I particularly liked the impressive cliffs and the mountain that rises above the city. Lots of drama. Good job. –Curt
Comment by Curt Mekemson — January 4, 2019 @ 20:55 |
Hello Curt.
Thank You for Your kind comment. Yes, cliffs are impressive. Maybe You know El Capitan, which is vertical rock formation in Yosemite National Park. We were there before the time of digital cameras (1998), so photos here. Sigh!
Happy New Year.
Comment by Sartenada — January 5, 2019 @ 11:40 |
For a number of years I led backpack trips in the backcountry of Yosemite. The towering granite cliffs of Yosemite are burned into my memory banks. 🙂

I have never visited Italiy yet. I enjoyed to see pics you took in Capri.
It is very beautiful port town.
Have you eaten something delicious in Capri?
When I was a child, I read books about Pompeii. And I got interested very much.
In Japan, many volcanoes and many earthquakes.
There are many hot springs thanks to the presence of many volcanoes.
Thank you very much you post nice article today.
I hope that you and your wife will have a wonderful year this year.

What a fabulous photo story! I did a similar trip to Sorrento a few years earlier, visited the coast, Capri and Pompeii, but sadly had no time left for Vesuvius. Looking my way through your photos I was brought back to this beautiful part of Italy of which I have so many fond memories. I’d love to revisit soon! 🙂

The beautiful sun and water look very inviting. I can imagine that it was nice for you to review your photos while it was cold and snowing outside. 😊
Comment by tanjabrittonwriter — February 7, 2019 @ 01:14 |
Hello Tanja.
Yes, it was indeed. This winter it has been snowing everywhere in Finland including Helsinki. When it was autumn, in November, some press mentioned that our northern most part called Lapland is not Lapland but it is Crapland due to the lack of snow. It made me smile, because it was in November and November is autumn month not winter month. Nowadays the depth of snow varies there from 45 cm to 63 cm. Helsinki and its surrounds have snow between 43 cm and 58 cm and more is coming.
This was not the first time when we have very much snow in Helsinki. Previously I remember the year 2011.
Helsinki covered by snow
Anyway, it is refreshing to have four seasons. Thank You leaving Your kind comment.
Have a wonderful day!
Comment by Sartenada — February 7, 2019 @ 08:10 |
I also like to have four seasons, even though I struggled a little when I lived in an area that was snow-covered from November until April or May. Spring is my favorite time of year, so I prefer it a little longer.
I hope you are making the best of your winter wonderland.
Warm wishes,
Tanja
