Yesterday we visited this church no longer used for services as the entire floor is a beautifully tiled garden of eden. you can only walk around the edges.
we then walked down the 777 steps completed in the time of augustus, for a long time the only access between Capri and Anacapri. Quite some walk, but all achieved it.
Ending up in Capri town, we were very glad we were staying in Anacapri, the poor cousin.
Capri town is absolutly full of daytrippers of all sizes, and most who do stay on the island stay there. It is beautiful there is no doubt, but it made us glad that we could return in the little bus to our little haven of peace, with beautiful sunsets and views of the sea.
After lunch we walked out to a cafe that is built into a grotto, quite incredible, we all had a fresh orange juice. The waitress spent 10 minutes non stop squeezing fresh oranges.
We continued the walk which talk us along the cliffs with views of casa malaparte.
A very famous modernist house embedded upon a clifftop completely isolated from anything and everyone.
This is a truly beautiful island dominated by cliffsa and mountains and surrounded by an azure sea.
The food has been great and the old town of anacapri is full in the evenings of the locals walking, playing ball, kids on bikes. Very family.
This afternoon we are off to Sorrento and another chapter begins.
