We took a train from Rome to Naples and then were supposed to catch a ferry to the island of Capri. Well, we managed to get lost on the way to the ferry port and spent a very hot hour wandering around hauling our luggage through a fish market and arguing. I had imagined some wonderful pizza for lunch from the birthplace of pizza, but instead we arrived at the port hungry and cross. And there was not going to be another ferry for four hours. I was beginning to second-guess our destination choice, but once we arrived on Capri the magic began.
We stayed in Anacapri and explored the island for two days by motor scooter and by boat. Swimming in the Blue Grotto (illegal but worth it) was unforgettable. Our photos don’t do it justice! We also swam in other grottos when we boated around the island. So fun!
We loved strolling and eating out in the little town of Anacapri and finally had some real Italian pizza. We were not huge fans. Also tried the local drink, Limoncello. Terry loved it! Our favorite food on Capri was homemade waffles with a variety of fillings, but our favorite spot was A Curtiglia. We had a fantastic view of sunset there.
Honestly, I don’t ever think we’ve had a two day trip that was more fun. What with breaking the law to swim in the grotto and hanging on for dear life on the back of a scooter, it was quite an adventure!
