19th April - Sunshine in Capri



Woke up with an even more flooded tent than the one we went to sleep in the night before and decided to check out of camping world and get into Hotel World. Booked a late deal into a lovely hotel in the heart of Sorrento and then set off for the days adventures.

Took the hydrofoil ferry

from Sorrento Grande Marina over to the island of Capri. Picked up a tour guide on the way called Joseph who took us and a big group of people up to AnaCapri and showed us the Venetian steps which the people here used to have to climb to get up to AnaCapri. Wandered about the town square for a bit in the sunshine and then got another bus down to the main town. Joseph took us to Augusto Gardens where you could see for miles to the bay of Naples and Mount Vesevius which he said he thought would erupt again one day!

Returned back into Grande Marina to find Tony the car park man in the harbour had put Gordon in what Mat thinks was pride of place at the front of the car park to impress the passers by. I would post a picture with the amount of bugs stuck to every part of the car which Gordon has accidentally killed but it's too disgusting.

Checked into our lovely hotel which had a balcony, massive double bed and was warm, dry and clean! Heaven! Wandered out to a brilliant pizza place the Lonely Planet recommended Franco's Pizza Parlour where they serve the pizza in tin trays and give you free chocolates before you leave!

Mat Stat - Before the cable cars the people who lived in AnaCapri had to climb 777 steps to get to the main Capri town!



Off to spend the night on the ferry to Igoumenitsa in Greece 10 hours on a ferry seat!
