Although we could not sail around the bay, we decided to make use of the the Circumversuviana, (the local train from Naples to Sorrento), and various ferries to visit some of our favourite places.

Sorrento obviously.

Then the short ferry crossing to Capri.

Followed by the longer boat trip past the islands of the sirens to Positano,

where we walked up the hill and then back down again, taking in the art galleries and craft stalls.

Everywhere was really busy. Autumn is a more hectic season in the resorts than spring, though the train service was much quieter than when the locals are all off to the beaches. By contrast the marina season is obviously winding to a close. Next week the shuttle bus to town stops and it will be the long walk as they also close the top gate.
