The Isle of Capri, a place of contrasts - tourists and film stars.  We never saw the film stars but tourists packed the place.
On the ferry at 0815 and sat for ninety minutes on a ferry.The trip out took twenty minutes longer than coming back because the Captain detoured to show us the Grotto Blanco and to sail through Lo Arco. Most impressive and saved us an eighteen euro boat ride, if taken from Capri. We arrived at 1000hrs and we had until 1650 to amuse ourselves.

Didn't do much - strolled around the Town, after riding the funicular to get to the Town, wandered through the really skinny lanes and paths and window-shopped at the high-end fashion stores, that probably cater to the filmstars. We did people watch at times and each time we were hit with a cover charge, the first time this charge has been so blatent. The practise of adding service charges to the meal is also prevalent - so the waiters only get a 12% tip instead of the usual 15-20%. But considering there are a lot of people who don't examine the bill and tip anyway the waiters are still ahead. We did a lunch too but it was pricey 50 Euro ($75cdn).

The sights to see on Capri - Tiberius's Villa, the vineyards and the Town of Anacapri we left alone. We did take a short bus ride, just to see how crooked the roads were. Climbing for fifteen minutes showed us how windy they are and we congratulated ourselves for not driving. Back to the Grande Marina and more sitting and another cover charge until the ferry arrived. Nothing against Germans but they do have a well deserved reputation for being bad tourists - pushy and loud. There were at least three tours of these people who placed themselves at the front of the line of people trying to get on the ferry and jostled their way onto it. No patience I guess. Luckily they were on the ferry that left before us and we didn't have to get involved. A short trip to the Isle to say we went and see what all the fuss is about - we did it, enjoyed and came back to Amalfi.
