This is the view from the platform
above the funicular station in Capri.
Beautiful
blue skies, and gosh I want one of those houses nestled on the hill!
Attractive clock on the tower outside the funicular
station.
The picture doesn't do justice to the
masses of purplish-pink flowers on the wall.
This is a monastery we saw on our walk
to the Augustus Gardens.
This was on the hill above us along
that same walk.
At the Augustus Gardens, we stood on a
overlook to see the "famous offshore rocks of Faraglioni."
There are no beaches, so you need a boat to enjoy the
water.
Modest fountain statue at the Augustus
Gardens.
Cavorting half-naked statue at the
Augustus Gardens.
The Augustus Gardens are actually quite
small. I had an expectation of something like Buchart Garden in
Victoria, BC. But the Augustus Gardens could fit in the Buchart
Garden's gift shop.
Another shot of the monastery.
Such a cheerful roofline.
As we walked back to the funicular
station, the streets were already filling with tourists.
The streets were lined with fancy shops.
We didn't know it, but this was our last, best chance
to buy Limoncello! And we failed. But we did get pastries at the
bakery.
It was so darned hot, we were amused at
the idea of a sauna. As if you would volunteer to be any hotter.
Huge cactus in the right of the picture
caught our eye.
Lou took this shot of Capri as we were
being loaded onto the boat for the trip to Sorrento.
