If I had to pinpoint a trip to a close vision to what I feel is close to a place like heaven on Earth, this trip would be probably tied with the nature and beauty of the Costa Rica trip. It seemed like every town we visited in the Amalfi Coast didn't disappoint, and Capri was no exemption. The island of Capri is off the coast of Naples in southern Italy. And it's surprising. There are so many unique things to do in Capri, yet most people going come for less than 24 hours. I would love to go back and spent more time there as we only did one day there. Capri includes a few hidden gems, town streets, beaches and the stunning Blue Grotto with it famous Faraglioni Rocks, and the beautiful Via Krupp, with its walking trails, which are literally cut into the side of the mountains, using hairpin turns with views short of nothing but spectacular. We also saw the Punta Carena Lighthouse, which is located down in the southwest corner of the island, the second tallest lighthouse in Italy and still in operation and a good place to view the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea.
Again, this was a good time to go too. Tourist season was pretty much done, and right before everything truly closes up for the season. I wonder if I could get the Lad and Warbucks to just up and move and live like beach bums on the shore of Capri???
As someone who's only wished to go to Capri, this post makes me eager to go! Capri looks gorgeous! The rock formations and the blue water.....no words.Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you...if you can get your kids to go...GO!!!! you'd LOVE IT!
DeleteOh wow..... Capri looks amazing! It’s now on my bucket list! Thanks for taking us with you yet again. I so need to travel aboard more.
ReplyDeleteAll gorgeous pictures, but that last one grabbed me! This trip looks amazing. You need a travel blog now! And I second the above comment...I'm a stuck stick in the US. I too need and should travel aboard more.
ReplyDeleteYou've shed some layers Morgan!!!!!
DeleteIt's now on our bucket list after this post!!!
ReplyDeleteBut wait, where are the skinny dip pictures???
I was wondering where the bare ass shots were too.
DeleteWouldn't you both like to know?!?!
DeleteGorgeous! I have a very soft spot for Italy; I had a holiday villa on the Ligurian coast, years ago.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how beautiful that was Dinah.
Deleteeach image is a poem in itself. I am so proud to be Italian and live in Italy.
ReplyDeleteGet me a room ready...I'll come live you with!
Deleteand we'd spend a lot of time to make love!
DeleteI want to live like a beach bum on Capri! Although I've never been there, my sister was there in 1970 (53 years ago!!!) and fell in love like you did. Exceptional photos!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Like a piece of heaven on Earth.
ReplyDeleteYou could spend a year, just sampling all of the lemoncellos.
ReplyDeleteLemoncellos...after a year? I'd be pickled for sure.
DeleteWe went to Capri for a day trip with some party pooper non-adventurers we befriended from the hotel we we're staying at in Portofino a few years ago, and it’s been our goal to go back. We are planning a trip again possibly for next September and spending two nights!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for your sharing you pictures and what you enjoyed. We will definitely have to watch the sunset from the lighthouse and hike the Via Krupp. I didn’t think I could get more excited about this trip and now, it just happened haha! Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking pictures!! Why are we all not there?
ReplyDeletevini and liquori?!?!?!? i should have known a bloodhound like yourself would know where to find the booze and the boys.
ReplyDeleteWhen your good, your good. You know me so well.
DeleteHoly shit!!
ReplyDeleteIt's like one steps into a movie! THIS is where I deserve to go on vacation.
XOXO
You can join us in our beach shanty Six.
DeleteThose imposing cliffs! The beautiful colour of the sea! You sure took some great photos!
ReplyDeleteThose cliff walks on the Via Grupp was amazing!
DeleteOh, my.... So perfectly beautiful. Yeah, I could live there.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a beach goer by any stretch of the imagination, but that place would have me consider making a trip there with a one way ticket.
ReplyDeleteI take it the three-wheeler was the Capri version of a police car?
ReplyDeleteNope. We saw several of them on certain village streets. We saw one selling bottled beverages out of them.
DeleteIn a bar on the Piccola Marina
ReplyDeleteLife called to Mrs. Wentworth-Brewster
Fate beckoned her and introduced her
Into a rather queer, unfamiliar atmosphere
She'd just sit there, propping up the bar
Beside a fisherman who sang to a guitar
When accused of having gone too far
She merely cried "Funiculi, just fancy me, funicula"!
It's no wonder Noel Coward loved it there - Paradise, indeed! Jx
"She'd just sit there, propping up the bar" That past sound very familiar.
DeleteWhat a lovely place!
ReplyDeleteCapri, très festif et gay.
ReplyDeleteLes célèbres marches de Capri ou se déroulaient de nombreux rendez-vous homosexuels,
des liaisons capricieuses :)
- Beau Mec à Deauville
Eh bien, beau gars... Nous avons eu au moins deux réunions homosexuelles à huis clos !!!
DeleteAs we are in the midst of a cold snap those warm waters and colorful towns are calling to me.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Take me to the lighthouse on the nicest boat you can get.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
And there were plenty of nice boat to select from too.
DeleteI'd love to go to Capri! It has such a romantic aura attached to it.
ReplyDeleteCapri and this whole trip looks amazing. Great pictures and love the grotto!!! Just how blue is that water??? I can feel the travel bug biting me for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe grotto was truly AMAZING!!!!!! I felt as though I was on another planet.
DeleteCapri looks stunning! I love that shot of the cheeky-looking little auto-rickshaw peeking out from behind that wall - what a cute little "face"!
ReplyDeleteOh....yeah... there is sort of a face isn't there?
Delete* Everyone...I think Mr. DeVice was in the sauce again.
Tundra Bunny here...
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on the posts I missed last week... Your photos of Capri are GORGEOUS! The turquoise water takes my breath away.... I want to dive right in, LOL! No wonder people risk volcanos and earthquakes to live in such a beautiful area.
I unfortunately didn't dip my fanny in the waters, as it was a bit chilly for me, but there were some brave souls in the waters. I'd never seen such blue water in all my life so far. I did however take a dip in the heated pool at the hotel. It truly was a beautiful trip. Another I won't forget.
