This little volcanic island situated at the Northern end of the Gulf of Naples, was our home port for one night. Home to some of the finest spas and thermal baths in the world, and i'm not speaking from experience, unfortunately. But we were able to go for a little late night stroll around the waterfront downtown area, which was fairly fabuloso. Cobblestone streets, lined with cafes and shops, and unfortunately, many a tourist. But the beauty I saw was in the local people...older Italian folk, who could be seen sitting on benches or outside tables with their croanies, in a totally relaxed and fulfilled manner, not being phased by the craziness that abounded. Another great scene was this local artist in the midst of his work, being watched by his cute little son. Just enjoying their company, and being happy with what they had. The place had a fairy tale feel to it, as tourists whizzed by on horse driven carriages, and went for rides around the fountain in the center of town. Brief stay in this fantasy land, but priceless, nonetheless. Take us to Capri, Captain!
