Island of Capri

Today we took the train down to Napoli and met a nice couple from Australia on the train. They offered to share a cab with us to the port. We were so lucky to have met them because we had no idea where to go. We got on the hydrofoil (fast ferry) and got to the island in about 40 minutes.

As soon as you pull up the view is breathtaking! The island is very hilly with lots of rock. We ate lunch and figured out that you have to take a cable car up to the actual town of Capri. Boy was the cable car crowded! People around here do not have any organization and order....everyone just pushes their way in.

The actual town of Capri was really cute....lots of little shops and narrow streets. You could tell that the ritzy people from Italy go here on the weekends because there were tons of high end stores and hotels and villas.

We then found the walking trail to tour the island. We cannot describe the view from all aspects. After staying on the island for about 4 hours, we took the ferry back and then the train back to Rome. It was a long day, but well worth it!

Where's Laura? Can you find her?
