THE ISLAND OF CAPRI AND ANA CAPRI

Happy Sunday,

Finally i'm getting to sit down and work on my second trip we took while on our Italian holiday. The next trip we got to take was a visit to the island of capri and ana capri. We needed to take a 20 minute ferry first across to capri from the Sorrento coast. Capri island is known for upscale hotels, shops from all your favourite designers from miu miu, prada to roberto cavalli (I had to walk away lol). While at the harbour we were all asked if we wanted to take a cruise trip around the island. Straight away we all said yes and guy's if you get the chance do it. Well €12 you can't go wrong!

Passing the harbour and getting to see all the amazing yachts docked there Julia pointed out a bronze statue of a little boy. It's scugnizzo giving a welcoming wave, greeting seafarers to the island. Continuing onwards we got to see some amazing cliff views of capri and caves where below the water of the sea is a beautiful turquoise blue which gives you the result of sunlight passing through an underwater cave.

Also there we passed the blue grotto unfortunately we didn't get the chance to visit here maybe another time. Truthfully the amount of boats that were there already you wouldn't have any chance in seen this place and that was only half ten in the morning. Again maybe it was because it was high season were as more people wanted to see the blue grotto. Well i'm not disappointed as I got to see other amazing views like the punta carena lighthouse, faraglioni rock formation and capri castle which from the boat can be seen right up on top of the cliff. Back on dry land we headed for a coach to continue on to our next location of anacapri.

Here anacapri is located at a higher elevation than capri the reason we headed there was to see the villa san Michele. The villa was built be Swedish physician and author axel munthe and the panoramic views from this villa are breathtaking. Just even walking around this villa is pretty spectacular as it was built on the ruins of an ancient chapel dedicated to san Michele.

Axel Munthe "My house must be open to the sun, to the wind, and the voice of the sea, just like a greek temple, and light, light, light everywhere!".

Hope you enjoy the piece!
