We are finally over jet lag and sleeping regular hours! We didn’t rush this morning but took a leisurely breakfast and then down the long set of stairs to the ferries. We were standing in the line at gate 10 to Capri at 10:15 when the lady at the gate said our ticket was not her company. We made a fast scramble back up to find the correct gate and boat. We were the last passengers on.
We arrived amidst a swarm of people at Marina Grande, all trying to figure out a way to get to Capri City. We figured out you can take the funicular which had a very long line, bus, or you can walk 2.3 km uphill. We opted to walk. The walk isn’t long but given the heat and humidity, we were drenched in sweat by the time we arrived.
Lemon ice slushes do a good job of cooling us down. The central plaza was packed with people so we chose to walk 30 min to Gardini de Augustus, a lovely small garden with a spectacular view of the city and coast. Best of all, it was not crowded!
We spent a few hours exploring then decided to escape the crowds, took the funicular down and the ferry back. We met a nice couple from Calgary on the ferry and had a fun chat about places travelled.
We stopped at Ravi for gelatos, our third visit this week. When in Italy, must have gelato every day!!
