After our circumnavigation of Capri and visit to the Blue Grotto we decided to hop the bus up to Anacapri for the views, the shops, maybe lunch.
|
Here is our boat, that is, the open motor-boat, the Lady Maria |
|
And now we are again on one of Capri's pint-sized buses, headed up and over
the mountain |
|
Thus; the bus ride on Capri almost rivals the Amalfi bus, at least for a few
minutes; here, you're looking back at the Grande Marina, Capri town on the
upper right, Italy's Sorrento peninsula in the distance; nothing below |

The old parish church; everything is white here |
|
Kissing alley masquerading as street |
|
Lunch: surprisingly good Neapolitan pizzae...her's a salami (spiced sausage, like
pepperoni), mine the romana (capers and anchovies); I continue to maintain that
the crust is merely for handling the pizza, not edible |
|
It's a very multi-cultural place, and probably always has been |
|
Taxis are pretty much all open-air or convertible |
|
Old money |
|
We took the bus back down to Capri town, walked a bit there, had our daily
gelato, then rode the funicular back down to the marina and the 5:30 ferry
back to Sorrento; then the train back to Pompeii; another pretty good day |

I'm catching up on your posts. Diana and I were in Frisco, Texas, at a smocking convention all last week, and had no free wifi in the room, and besides that, we were too busy to be on the computer anyway, so it is fun to see all your photos and read your posts again.
Wes and I leave for Paris on November 12. Sorry we will miss you.
