Isle of Capri - part 1.

No ruins today but more picture postcard beauty as we spent most of the day on the Isle of Capri. What a beautiful place.

We went by a hydrofoil ferry from Salerno which stopped first at Amalfi and then at Positano. (Positano looks just like it is portrayed in the movies such as "Under the Tuscan Sun". No it's not in Tuscany but on the Amalfi Coast but if you know the movie you'll remember why the town of Positano makes a couple of appearances.)

Once on the Isle of Capri we caught the funicular or cable car up to the main square of the town of Capri. Next was a walking tour through the gorgeous alleys, through the shopping area with all the high end shops (think blouses or dresses around €750-1100 and they weren't the most expensive). It is a playground of the rich and famous as well as a popular tourist spot for people like us! We had plenty of spare time to further explore before going on a boat that took us around the whole island.Leia mais
