Capri: started the day with a ferry ride to the island of Capri.
We have met quite a few people on our travel. Of course, I think everyone we have met looks like someone I know. Some we know by their real names, but some we just know by their assigned names by us 😊. We are the only Canadians and we are continually told by one family in particular that Trudeau is wonderful and that our Canadian recycling efforts show how much we love the environment as we take care of it.
People watching is always fun. One thing I have observed is many men who cater to their wives making sure they are happy. To the extent, that I want to shake the women and tell them to grow up. Enjoy your friggin’ holiday in Italy!!
Capri was good. We went on a boat ride around most of the island. The water was ridiculously blue and so cold. We took the funicular (fancy gondola) to the top and saw where some celebrities stay. Very beautiful but expensive. There was a Rolex store there just to give a sampling of the type of stores. Justine and I went back down and went to soak our feet in the cold Mediterranean Sea. So refreshing. My ankles may be never return to their original size. Off to the Mozzarella Farm tour now. Just waiting on group and listening to Italian music in the background.
Update: the Mozzarella farm was awesome. We got to see real live cows and geese. Not such a novelty to us, but for some a real highlight. They explained how they make olive oil and showed us how to make mozzarella cheese. We had a nice simple meal of caprese, pasta, and cake for dessert followed by two different kinds of lemonocello. Delicious! We got to know our fellow travellers a bit more. They are so interesting!
Tomorrow, the Amalfi Coast on the road named “Momma Mia”!
