Took the shuttle bus down to the docks and caught the ferry over to Capri about a 20 minute ride. Then on a boat for a ride around the island hopefully we can get a couple of pictures up. Very steep and rocky homes built on the ledges. They have a funicular to get you to the top of the village.
This island has been a resort dating back to the times of Tiberius the Roman emperor over 2000 years ago. When his enemies tried to plot against him in Rome his nephew gave him all the names of the conspirators. Tiberius invited all of them to a vacation on Capri and took them to the top of the cliffs. There he invented bungee jumpee, except it was only one way as he shoved them all off of the cliffs.
Had lunch and shopping at all the cheap stores like Prada, Gucci, Buccaleta you know the Wal Marts of the mediteranian.
Spent a relaxing day got back to a nice dinner on the patio here at the hotel overlooking the bay of Napoli. Great way to end the day.
Driving the Malfi coast tomorrow and then on to Rome.
Ciao,
D&D
