Capri

So now we come to Capri, which is where we have been since Thursday. Capri is a beautiful island in the Bay of Naples. It is famous for its clear blue waters and sheer limestone cliffs. We are actually staying in Anacapri, which is another town on the island and not as overcrowded with tourists as Capri Town itself.

One of the most impressive things in Capri are the tiny roads. They are very narrow and, on the way to Anacapri, on the edge of a cliff! Cars going both ways barely squeeze by one another. The bus drivers here are pros and will usually honk the horns when going around blind turns, so cars going the other way will watch out!

Here in town, a number of tiny roads are meant to be footpaths, but that doesn't stop people from driving these skinny, tall little vans and scooters up and down the hills. For this reason, Capri is a famous place to ride Vespa scooters. You can rent a Vespa here but Holland and I had NO interest in that!
