Capri...

Ceramic signs are everywhere...nice touch.

If you walk down to the pier by way of the streets you come across this??? Looks like it should be on Route 66 in the 50's!

The view!

A little soda and pizza.

The main gathering point of Capri from below on the street.

Gone Tanning...wish I'd thought of that.

The place was empty of tourist.

Who wouldn't be enticed into this restaurant...Capri Moon. 

Our ferry back to Sorrento.

Just a reminder not to drive your car off the pier into the ocean!

How much would it cost to live here???

The tallest cactus I have ever seen...it reaches about 4 stories (50 feet)...it's massive.

Playground of the rich, famous and now the Paddock's...caught the ferry out of Sorrento about 9:30 and landed in Capri at 10...the place is gorgeous from the very 1st glimpse...no plans, no tours, just a nice day roaming around the city and enjoying ourselves. We decided to walk up to the city center, a very serious hike...the reward once you reach the main Piazza is a view that you'll never forget...the Grand Harbor for lack of a better word is, "Grand". At the center of the action we sat and enjoyed a Cappucinno and watched all the people...fun stuff, even in the off season this spot is hopping. In late November Capri is way out of season and a large portion of the businesses and hotels are closed, we walked down lanes that were completely empty except us. I bet in the season there are huge crowds everywhere. The hotels and restaurants are charming, and the shops are quaint and funky. This whole area in Italy feels very rich, in Positano the owner of the B and B we are staying in told us out of 20 businesses down in the hip section of town by the beach, 18 owners have closed for the season and are spending the winter in Thailand...90%...I thought it seemed a little closed up. In Capri we came across a store with a sign in the window that said, "Gone Tanning". Business must be good when it's there. Anyway, we had a nice stroll through the city, took lots of pictures and had lunch at a small cafe on the harbor, a little pizza and soda. Capri is exactly what I'd pictured, hip, beautiful and picturesque...next time we'll come in the summer.
