Dual Travelers : Capri Day 9

We were able to sleep in a little this morning because breakfast wasn’t until 7:20 am and we didn’t depart on our tour until 8:20.

We met Luigi our local guide outside our hotel and walked a short distance to catch the Open-taxi ride (which were convertible cars) to Anacapri. However it had been calling for rain so the tops were up!

We drove up the mountain side to Anacapri which means above Capri! We walked to the Villa San Michele!

The Villa San Michele was built around the turn of the 19th century on the Isle of Capri, Italy, by the Swedish physician and author Axel Munthe.

After the tour of the home and grounds we did a little shopping then we stopped for cappuccinos and water before the next part of our adventure.

After the rest we headed to busses 🚌 made for Capri to come back down the mountain.

One thing to note is that most of Capri is pedestrian only and very narrow streets. So they use a lot of specialized motor vehicles for transport up and down the mountain on very narrow streets. Sometimes you just shut your eyes! In the city center they use electric powered vehicles.

When we reached the bottom were were at the port of Capri where we boarded a boat for a tour around the island.

When the tour was over we headed to a recommended local restaurant by the water for lunch.

Grace and I had an Affogato - An affogato (Italian for "drowned") is an Italian coffee-based dessert. It usually takes the form of a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream topped or "drowned" with a shot of hot espresso.
