Capri

Today it's another early day.  How we long for a sleep in and time to linger over our morning coffee!  We must make the most of it so off we go for a day on Capri.  We get picked up by bus and taken to the port to catch the fast ferry to Capri.

They have to use a smaller bus to go to the port in order to negotiate the narrow roads and hairpin turns.

This fast ferry is quite fast and smooth.  It only takes 20 minutes to reach Capri.

Arriving at Capri.

We go on a chairlift from Anna Capri (the upper part of the island).  This is 13 minutes of quiet bliss.  Beautiful views and only the sounds of birds and smell of jasmine to keep you company.

View from the chair.

View from the very top.

Then back down to the lower part of Capri island.  The narrow twisting streets are really something to negotiate and the drivers are very used to it.  It's still heart stopping at times.  This is a photo of the firehall.  Tiny trucks as that's all that can fit.

After returning from our day on Capri we head off for a welcome dinner at Hotel Christina which is our hotel's sister hotel.

Magnificent appetizers.  This could be dinner but there are a lot more courses to come.

Some of our group....most are from the United States.

And a beautiful sunset.  Our last tour is tomorrow and we are off to the Amalfi Coast.
