Day 4 was spent visiting Capri island. We took the ferry from Sorrento which took about 30 minutes. Capri is like most of the Amalfi coast in that it is dramatic cliffs with a town or two build into the side of them. Our favorite part of Capri was taking the chairlift up to the top of Anacapri. The ride was so peaceful and relaxing as you slowly rise through very green, lush, gardens and smell various flowers as you make your way to the top. From the top of the chairlift, you could see just about all of Capri island. We then walked through Anacapri and Capri itself which was filled with souvenir shops, geloto stands, and resturants.... read more

Geo: 40.5509, 14.2429To continue the theme I have decided to include the Amalfi Coast and Capri Island together as one blog. Capri was the first stop, I had decided to go on the Friday as there would be less tourists.The ferry departed from Naples and took about 1 hour.30 minutes, the slow one that is, it's cheaper.I was there for the whole day and I loved it, the weather was perfect and warm.I walked along the main road up to the town, there is a nice lookout. On the other side of the island is another lookout with beautiful view out in to the Mediterranean Sea. From there you can loop back around to the town by the twisty walkway of Via Krupp. On a sunny day this is spectacular with the clear blue and aqua ... read more

Up and about for an early boat to the most beautiful place I have ever been – Capri. This time I am determined to see more of the island than marina grande and the main shopping area. I got myself an all day bus ticket and after the lovely funicular up to the town I got on one of the dinky buses which was heading up to Anacapri which is towards the top of the island. I took a long walk through the tiny streets, stopping at various churches, gardens and secret passages that lead to fantastic views over the sea. Plenty of little shops to look at and not as exclusive as the main part of the island. When I finally made it back to the centre of Anacapri I had a light lunch whilst ... read more

Geo: 40.5509, 14.2429 GÜN 9 günlerden Cuma Saati 07:00 ye kurdum . Uyanınca hemen toparlandık. Limana yürümeğe karar verdik. Ayşe daha önce de tahmin ettiğim üzere yokuşta rahatsızlandı. Limana merdivenlerden indik. Orada fazla bir sorun olmadı. Limana vardığımızda gök yine boşandı. Ama aslan gibi şemsiyemiz var . Tanrımın bana gönderdiği... Etrafımızda nerdeyse donla adaya gitmeğe hazırlanan zavallı kızlar vardı. Bu Amerikalılar ,gerçekten reklam dolduruşlarına teslim oluyorlar. Giyimli olan bir biz ,bir de İtalyanlar var ....gerisi neredeyse çıplak. Vapur, büyük ve yolculuk 40 dakika sürdü. Gidiş geliş 19:80 kişi başı. Bilete baktığımda, çok ciddi bir vergi kaçakçılığı yapıldığını anladım. Zira bizim biletin 10 E'luk kısmını ellerinde tutuyorlar Bize sadece 9.80 E luk koçan... read more

After Cannes, Nice and Monaco I am all a bit glitzed and glammed out.... The Islo of Capri was nice but a bit showy and rich for mine, but the views were worth the boat ride alone.... read more
