We intended to stay in Sorrento, but we booked our rental at the last minute so we ended up in Meta. It worked out well. It was only a 5-minute train ride to Sorrento and Meta had a really nice beach club.
We took the Circumvesuviana train every day and no one got mugged so it was a success, but every train we took was so crowded and hot. My mom absolutely hated it. Toward the end of trip we actually figured out the train system🙌 It was a miracle.
We went to Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii on the first day. To be honest, this was probably my least favorite day of the trip. The bus ride to Mount Vesuvius is hell for anyone who struggles with motion sickness. We quickly climbed to the top (it only took 10 minutes), but the views were obscured with a thick haze. Then, we did a two-hour guided tour of Pompeii. I was done with tour after 45 minutes. It was interesting to see, but I didn't need two hours.
Looking at the crater
Hazy views
The walk down was worse then up in my opinion. My joints hurt lol
Pompeii
Amazing what they've been able to restore
Plaster casts of the victims
Thought to have died from suffocation
The wealthy homes had mosaic tile floors
The second day was spent on Capri. We didn't have a lot of time on the island. We did a boat tour. Enjoyed a few Aperol Spirtz then nearly missed ferry back to Sorrento! My parents actually did miss the ferry. We assumed the ferry would pick up where it dropped us off, but we ended up sprinting 200 meters to reach the dock. Brie was literally the last one on the boat. It ended well though. My parents caught the next ferry a couple hours later. Brady, Brie, Tyler and I had dinner in Sorrento. We had the best seafood (and views!) at Trattoria da Emilia.
First, train to Sorrento

Those that made the ferry lol
The most amazing sunset I've ever seen
The stairs were no joke
We tried visiting Positano on the last day. We bought bus tickets and stood at the bus stop for 45 minutes. It never showed up. We called a taxi service and no one could drive us to Positano so we stayed in Meta for the afternoon then went to Sorrento for shopping and dinner in the evening.

Beach in Meta
I love the taste of salt water
Cute couple
I really like the trees in Italy
I'm bummed we never went to Positano, but that is worst thing that happened on this trip so overall it went really well!
