    A summary of our day in Capri; fabulous, shit, fabulous.
    We went to the wharf in Sorrento at 8am for our 8.15am boat. 8.15 came and went, so did 8.30, 8.45. Finally we were collected for 9am boarding. The crew were all fussing around me getting on - "careful madam". Do I look like an idiot? They picked the wrong one. Graham sat on the side of the boat and then fell flat on his back on the deck, legs in the air. And that was our introduction to the 8 other people on board.
    Spent a few hours cruising around the island, visiting all the little grottos and seeing the line for the Blue Grotto. Stopped for a dip in one of the coves then headed for the island.
    Queued for an hour for the stupid little bus to jam us on board like sardines and deposit us at Anacapri. Queued for tickets to the chairlift. That bit was actually lovely. A great view over Capri. Ran around at the top to take a couple of photos then queued for the chairlift back down. As soon as we got off we bolted as we saw a big group heading in the direction of the bus stop. Beat them there as our bus pulled up, but it was full. Brett asked if they could please squeeze the four of us on, which they did. We stood on the stairs up against the doors, and luckily they didn't open.
    Power walked to our jetty as the boat arrived. And that is how you spend three hours on Capri. You haven't lived until you have been jammed onto one of their stupid little buses.
    Stopped on the way back for a swim or limoncello. Who would like to guess what I chose?
    A lovely day was had by all.
