Isle of Capri

Today we caught an early ferry for a day at the Isle of Capri.
More stairs from the bottom of the port to the town., there were buses and a furnuncular but we decided to do the 30 minute walk. 😅When we arrived in town we sat in the Piazza and I had an iced espresso … it was actually delicious and just like granita. Rich had a tea blended from about 12 different fruits which went with his canolli perfectly.😋
We decided to walk to Villa Jovis , the excavated remains of a palace built in early AD by Emperor Tiberis who used to push people he didn’t like off the huge cliffs 😳
The view was spectacular but while we were there the weather just started rolling in and then it rained and rained…I’m talking monsoonal!!!
Capri has some very affluent visitors and regularly frequented by celebrities and so there are some magnificent shops restaurants and hotels. We found a lovely trattoria but couldn’t go in as we were soaking wet. They set up a table in the alleyway for us 😂and we ate there conversing with the lovely son of the family owned business Ristorante Donna Rachelle who spoke 5 languages. He taught us about the local food and we had some special Capri recipes-fried pizza and a local cheese and Napoli sauce ravioli washed down with limoncello spritz.
We then went to another place in the piazza and had an affogato before catching the 6 pm ferry on to Sorrento.Read more
