June 2nd
Today was Capri day and a great one. We had sunny skies but it wasn't too hot. The four of us opted to take the tour and for 2 E more than just the ferry, we circumnavigated the island. We landed at the small harbour and took a bus up to Capri town (so missed the exciting bus ride Shannon had told us about which goes from the main harbour up). We hated the town as it was jammed with people so set off on a recommended walk. Karen and Anne opted for the chair lift and walk. Eleanor and I covered about 11 km by taking the wrong route and going around some military place but we loved the trail. Then we finally found the right one and made it to some very early ruins. We finished the day with frozen margaritas while waiting for our boat. On the way there we were hoping to go into the "blue" grotto but the seas were too rough. We would have gone in in little rowboats. The opening looked small to me and the waves were filling it. The boat did back into the "green" grotto. The island is mostly cliffs straight up and down with some areas full of caves, grottos, etc.
We were gone all day so headed out for supper soon after returning. Found a nice little restaurant down on the water about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. We got there before their 7 pm opening. Good recommendation from Rick Steeves.
We are packed up and ready to move on tomorrow to Positano -- by bus.
