Capri

This past weekend, Karl and I took a trip to the island of Capri which is about a 45 min boat ride from downtown Naples. We were celebrating the sixth year anniversary of when we met and had our first date and we couldn't have picked a more romantic place to go. Capri is becoming a vacation destination for celebrities, so there is AMAZING shopping (every designer you could think of) and restaurants. There are great views from all over the island and the weather was great for us. We did a lot of window shopping and had a nice lunch and really just enjoyed walking all around the center of town. Before leaving, we stopped at a produce stand and got wonderful fruits and veggies for dinner...it was a perfect end to a perfect day. (To look closer at the pictures, you can click on them to blow them up)
A nice shot of Naples from the boat as we were leaving the Port Another shot of downtown Naples I took this from the boat as we were coming up on Capri The port at Capri- we had a nice bottle of wine there in the evening and watched all the boats come in and out More Capri from the port To get to the center of town (which is at the very top of the island), you have to walk if you don't have a car...this is the road there Karl at the port with the carnival behind him
The view from the center of town (seeing how far down the port is, you can only imagine how long it took us to hike up) We had a nice lunch here and it gave us time to really soak in the view Karl with the Gelato...mmmmm This was a fun find for us- it is a HUGE tiled map of Capri (probably the size of our old living room)
