Here’s how we got from Capri to Vietri Sul Mare: Antonio (the father at our Monte Salerno B&B in Capri) drove us to the bus stop (because the rain was pouring) where we took the local bus from Anacapri to the Marina Grande on Capri; from Marina Grande we took a ferry to Sorrento; once in Sorrento, we hiked up several long and steep flights of stairs to catch the Circumvesuviana to the Pompeii stop (the Circumvesuviana is a local train running from Naples to Sorrento); once we reached Pompeii, we walked to the TrenItalia station where we caught a regional train to Vietri Sul Mare; once we arrived at the Vietri Sul Mare station, we had to walk down several flights of stairs to the bus station that would take us to the small town of Raito where our B&B, Il Melograno (meaning Pomegrante), was located. While waiting at the bus stop, the owner of our B&B, Marco, happened to drive by and gave us a ride into Raito. We traveled on nearly every form of transportation in one day - thank goodness we didn't have to fly anywhere! (By the way, an interesting fact about the weather during our travel day: the rain would pour whenever we were outside walking to the next stop, and then cease as soon as we were in a bus/ferry/train/car. Very strange…and a bit annoying!)
