Day Five: A trip on the sailboat

Our day was a blast. Quite possibly our best yet. We woke up at 8:30am, got dressed, had a bowl of cereal and some coffee. A cab picked us up downstairs and drove us to the seaport. From there we took a ferry to a smaller island about an hour away. Pietro's sailboat was stationed there. Once we landed on the next island we took a cab to the dock and hopped on.

The weather couldn't have been better.

Haley and I tanned for some time (we both look like bronze gods), swam, ate lunch, swam some more, tanned some more, talked, and swam... all day long. This is the life.

After spending the day out on the boat, we sailed it back and docked it. Haley and I were a disappointed that the day was over and we'd have to take the ferry back to Naples. Then, out of the blue, Pietro's friend showed up and offered us a ride back in his motorboat.

We arrived in Naples as the sunset.

Checkout the grotto.


The lil' champion felt a lil' seasick.




I love these little cars with only three wheels.


At the dock we found Pietro's sailboat.


Pietro is a good captain.




Lunch: Tuna, tomatoes, apricots, and some weird pizza/sandwich thing that was filled with spaghetti.


You've got to click this photo to see it bigger!!! BEAUTIFUL!




Our new friend Francesco took a dive. He's 11.








Leaving the boat we had to walk this dangerous little plank.


Rather than take the ferry back to Naples, we rode on a motorboat. Haley took a nap.


























Once we'd parked the boat back in Naples we had to take a smaller boat to get to land. There was a restaurant right on the dock. We all ate gelato.




We ended up right at Castel dell'Ovo as the sun was setting.
