Naples/Capri, Italy - Oct 18
Our good luck with the weather ran out today! )-:
It was cold and rainy until about noon and then it was just
cold. We still had a good time on Capri and Judy and
Rusty had a good time at Pompei and the Amalfi coast.
We got to and from Capri on
this hydrofoil boat. The trip
took about 45 minutes each
way and was a little bumpy
since these boats cruise
and a pretty good speed.
The crew had bags to hand
out to those that felt queasy
from the boats motion.
The first thing we
saw when we got off
the bus at the top of
the mountain was
"my place"!!
This is a famous hotel in
Capri where all the movie
stars and heads of state
stay when they visit Capri.
It was also featured in a
famous movie starting
Sophia Loren (I forget the
name of it though).
The Capri coastline is very
beautiful.
You can see a walking trail
along this cliff that is the
only way to get to the group
of houses at its end. We
didn't have enough time to
walk it, but I'm sure it would
have presented many
photo opps!
This was the Garden of
Augustus on Ana Capri. By
this time the rain had
stopped and the rest of the
tour was dry, but cold.
We rode the Funiculare
down from the top of the hill.
