Hi everybody. The countdown is on. It is Thursday morning and we leave on Saturday. How time flies. We have had a fantastic trip but will be very happy to get home to the family.
Yesterday was another spectacularly different day. We joined some of the group on a small boat to and around the real Isle of Capri, not the one on the Gold Coast which, after seeing the real one, really doesn’t compare. The rest of the group went by ferry and we caught up with them later.
It was a brilliantly calm clear day as we meandered along the base of the towering cliffs looking at the Green Grotto, swimming in the crystal clear water and being entertained by the boats jostling for position to get their occupants into the famous but, I suspect, overrated Blue Grotto. We didn’t wait the hour it would have taken for it to be our turn to go in.
After leaving the boat we headed up the Funicular to the town of Capri where, in the back streets, we came across a lovely deserted café in which we had lunch. After checking out the spectacular view from the nearby gardens recommended by the waiter, we got on the cute but well scratched little mountain bus and went to Ana Capri where we found the chairlift recommended by the Aussie girls we had met over lunch in Amalfi several days before. The view from the top was as good a view as we have ever seen. I’ll let the photos tell the story.
From there we eventually worked out how to find the bus to the Blue Grotto where we joined the rest of the party and the locals in jumping off the rocks for another swim.
Last night we had leftovers from the previous nights catered meal. Tonight I suspect we will have leftovers from the leftovers. We don’t seem to be able to get to the end of the food. Christian found a nearby family run restaurant which has perhaps the best Pizzas we have ever eaten so we will have to try those again.
