Carmencita Anacapri

... with our photogropher but will not be able to post those pics until we get back to Canada. Danielle will be posting her pictures of the day on Facebook soon so everyone should be able to see them through a link. We obviously didnt get any pictures on our own camera as we were a little busy.
We are on our way to Florence tomorrow and we will have more time to write ...

This villa is absolutely amazing with the nicest hosts you'll find. We pass by a few, and none of them were as nice. they even have access to a beautiful private beach in case you want to avoid the messiness of the other public ones. Definitely look up this spot if you ever travel into Amalfi. webcam girls webcam tube

... in Amalfi where we bought some meat, cheese and bread from a small supermarket. Another lesson in Italian for Ryan here – the plural form of etto (roughly 100 grams of anything from a deli counter) is etti. Dué (two) etto is incorrect and the guy behind the counter politely corrected Ryan. Hey at least he didn’t just walk in and ask for 200 grams of provolone in English like the British guy behind us did.

... not the only ones disappointed. While we waited for another bus to return we chatted with the American couple and watched stray kittens and cats roam and play. How nice it would be to bring an italian kitty brother or sister home to our cats. J

Once back in AnaCapri, we decided to go on a chairlift to the highest peak in Capri. It was a great way to get good pictures and to catch a cold. Geez, the sun would go behind the clouds and you would be stuck ...

... There was a theatre or something that I guess we missed out on but we were happy with what we saw.

That night we had dinner with a couple from Quebec, Justine and David. We ate and talked with them until about 1:30am. It was nice to visit with people of similar interest. There was a bit of a language barrier but nothing compared to some of our other experiences. Plus it was nice to visit with people that could understand the differences between Canada and Europe.

... no, I shuttle. Next time you call me and I come pick you up." Good to know after the fact. J He then gave us our key and showed us to our room. “It’s good?” he asked and Ryan replied by saying that “even if it wasn’t it was going to cost us 35euro to get back to Amalfi.” We are still not sure if he understood it was a joke. We unpacked a bit and went to bed. It was a long day.

... news of today, the repair of the back shock kills all my plans for the journey back home. Because of this and also because of the increasing cold of approaching winter, there is no itineary anymore and Switzerland will be approached in more or less direct way.

Date of return to Switzerland remains unknown so far.

... Capri and then went to check our luggage, since we would be traveling from here onto Naples. We must have circled around about 50 times, asking numerous people for directions to the lockers including the tourist information office. It turns out that the "lockers" is actually a store that uses it's back room to check luggage. Works for us (although they should be more clear on that so we can find it!)

We decided to go see the Blue Grotto as ...

Such an experience in the making. We were slated for an 1100 appearance on a show not beginning until 2030, so again much waiting and build-up and finding excuses "to run back to the hotel quick" so that we could stave the boredom. Many games in the courtyard were invented, including "Bottle Bash," "Bottle Polo," and "Javelin Ball." We were terribly imaginative. Finally, though, after ...

... best activity around was to explore the five hundred year old convent. In the dark. After finding the crypts under the building and seeing something moving down in the garden and realizing there were two entire floors of the convent that had no obvious doors, we found out the slogan on the church that it belongs to reads "Relief in suffering" when translated. Creepy. Since we'd scared ourselves enough already, we stopped poking around ...
