Capri, Sorrento and Pompeii
I have been patiently waiting my turn for a PAID adventure as a port adventure guide for an exciting port!!! I got a full day in Naples to see some really exciting sites! I was in WAY OVER MY HEAD on this adventure though!!!! The jetfoil (boat) that we rode to the Island of Capri made all our guest sea sick because it was really bumpy. I even got sea sick and thought I was going to lose my lunch at one point. Luckily a helpful guest suggested looking at the horizon or something that is not moving and get fresh air. IT WORKED MIRACLES!!!! When we finally got to Capri and put our feet on dry land, I didn't want to leave. (mostly I didn't want to get back on that jetfoil) We got tickets for the BEST GELATO I HAVE EVER TASTED (Nutella with white chocolate) and some free time to browse around. After that we got back on the evil jetfoil and took a tour of the island and saw the blue grotto up close which was AWESOME!!! It's one of the seven wonders of the world!!! We stopped in Sorrento next for lunch and it was so good! They fed us so much that I almost burst!!! (No wonder they need afternoon naps). We were given about 20 minutes after our meal to look around at the shops before our hour bus trip to Pompeii. This is where my stress level jumped to heart attack mode!!! Right when the lady in charge of our tour wanted to leave, I was told by a family that two of their members were missing. I stayed back to wait for them but had to run 5 BLOCKS to catch up to the tour guide to stop her......When we were all reunited in the bus and I was set to do a final head count before we took off I noticed we were missing 2 MORE guests!!!! The relentless tour guide decided that we must go on, meaning that I lost 2 guests....We were at least 2 hours from the ship by bus. I was freaking out and my guest were giving me a hard time about leaving them behind (even though they knew it wasn't my fault). Luckily, those sneaky guest must have gotten on another Disney bus and met us in Pompeii!!!!!! OH MAN OH MAN!!! Although it was a stressful day, it was an absolute blessing to get to see all the beautiful sites surrounding Naples, Italy!!!
