Another day in Capri




View from Marina Piccola









We started the day with hopes of heading out on a boat tour, but the choppy water prevented that. We woke up late and headed off to the Anacapri chairlift up to the very top of the island. The views are astounding, with full panorama. Back in the main piazza, Ms Vogt asked around and found the lone Capri penny machine!

We then proceeded down to Capri-town and on to Marina Piccola, the small harbor on the south side of the island. We grabbed lunch and ventured out onto a trail walk, only to be foiled by the windy conditions, forcing a closed trail. Instead, we climbed back to Capri-town, spending time to buy souvenirs. Ms Vogt and I decided to go find the lone soccer field we had noticed from the heights, spending an hour on the walk.

We came back to the B&B just in time for sunset, napped/rested, and then headed into town for dinner and the Napoli soccer game. Our first stop had no space in front of the TV (reserved) and only had lunch/bar food, so we moved on and found a much better option that had two TVs and "real food". Napoli is the "home team" around here, due to proximity, and they sounded stomped Cagliari 6-2. A brief night on the town followed, with an hour of live music, mostly disco hits. Sadly, Saturday night is disco-dancing night.

Now it's rest/bed time before a day of boating (hopefully) and travel back to Rome.

  1. The city that has a rich tradition of luxury and opulence flowing filthily can never fall short of some real souvenirs that make its civilization worth enlivening. In fact, Dubai souvenirs are famous worldwide that invites thousands of visitors to handpick few of them. If you have a rich taste, go in for these souvenirs that can’t be found anywhere else but, Dubai.
