Capri.


We took a "taxi" from our hotel to Positano where we caught the ferry to Capri. Our taxi was on water and was a great way to travel.


Coming into Positano:


The boys enjoyed the ferry ride to Capri:


Once we arrived in Capri, we took the local bus from the marina to Anacapri. Once we arrived in Anacapri, we head out to find the sandal guy. The last time I was in Capri with my parents, my father purchased a pair of handmade sandals from di Antonio Viva's shop L'arte Sandalo Caprese. He has been there for decades, and has made sandals for many, many famous people...including my father! I was tasked with buying my father two more pairs of what he calls the most comfortable sandals he has ever worn. So, armed with a photo of the sandals and his shoe size, I found di Antonio's shop and asked about the sandals. Unfortunately, my father's size was not in stock in the style he wanted. So di Antonio told me he would make them and ship them out for me. Now, Dan couldn't not get a pair too...so di Antonio is also making a pair for Dan and shipping them to us in Belgium. I, of course, wasn't going to be left out, so I purchased a pair for me as well. We spent quite a bit of money there, and only walked out with one pair of shoes in hand!! I'll let you know when the shoes we ordered finally arrive. I am hoping we get them before we move away from Belgium!

Here is a picture di Antonio and his shop:


After shoe shopping, we found a little trattoria that was off the beaten path. It was quite and cool under the pergola. It was a wonderful break from the hectic streets of Anacapri and the food was fantastic!


And then of course there a stop for gelato after lunch!


Once our shoe shopping was complete and our bellies were full we headed to the chair lift. The chairlift ride is about 20 minutes and takes you to the highest point of the island of Capri, Mount Solaro (1932 feet). From the summit is an incomparable view of the island and the Gulfs of Naples and Salerno.
