Jun 10, 2007 - The worst/best day ever!
So Kirbs made me get up yesterday morning at like 9 which is rather difficult when your head feels like its going to explode! We rolled out of bed, literally threw on whatever we could find, put our hair up and stummbled outside to find an internet cafe in order to book a hotel in Capri for the night and email Lizzie all of the contact and hotel info for her arrival. ... So by the time we were done we were sooo ready to get to Capri so we headed to the internet cafe to book our hotel, only problem was that it still wasnt open! So from there we walked until 1 pm stopping at every hotel we found asking fore internet cafes, we even got a cab and had them take us to one but every single one was closed. ... Once we got to the rail station we came to the heartbreaking realization that there wasnt one there either so before we lost our sanity we decided to screw the cafe and buy a ticket to Capri. ... We asked a few people where to go to get a boat to Capri and they all pointed us in the same direction so we started walking. ... When we finally got to the port the man sold us a ticket to Capri and we just barely got to our gate in time to watch them pulling away from the port. ...

Last week I thought that the road up to Taormina was bendy and steep (which put me in mind of the famous road by Monte Carlo, which I best remember from a chase sequence in the Bond film "Goldeneye" when James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) and Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen) are fighting it out for road supremacy), but really that is a three lane motorway compared to some of the roads here on Capri. ... Capri itself is a small island (5 sq metres) in the Bay of Naples, and as you get your first glance of it from the ferry, it surprised me just how hilly and mountainous the island s. ... The highest point is above Anacapri and is 590m above sea level (which I walked up to this afternoon, and it was really hot work but the views out over the island were totally worth it; and I thought that it was a good idea to start to burn off some of the pizza and pasta that I've consumed so far on this trip). ...
