Capri

No, not the pants, the island of Capri. I had never been there before this trip. We left Rome and went to Pompeii and then spent the night in Sorrento. I had a private room that night, but the morning came early and we were off before 7AM to the Isle of Capri. We walked down this never ending set of stairs and then off to the ferry that would take us on the 45 minute ride from Sorrento to Capri. It was a wonderful day, sunny and bright, but a bit of haze in the air. Upon arrival, we left one ship and boarded a boat. I know the difference between a ship and a BOAT! The latter was a boat. In any event we sailed 3/4 the way around the Island and then back to harbor. From there we stood in line for about 45 minutes to take a tram to the top of the island where I could only WISH to own a residence or afford a hotel room. It was amazing! Here are some shots from the town at the top of the Island.....for those fine covered sidewalks, we have this:


For the shopper of the ULTRA fine goods we have this!


For the best in hotels and views, this!


For the city center, this.....


for the nature and scenic beauty lover...well, this is too much!


For the yachting readers, wait, does anyone I know own a yacht?..ANYWAY...


then leaving the fine island behind.....


I really enjoyed this day, I only wish I had prepared myself and covered myself in sunscreen...yes, the sun did its best to me the last day in Italy...I was scorched and hot and sweaty and ready for a LONG shower...but there was still an hour and a half sea voyage to Naples! And I choose to be topside and outside on the deck!
Oh well...at least the scenery was good and if the ship sank, I would be a steaming beacon of water to the rescue ship!
