When we got to the Island, Bill bought a map and he and Jim set about planning our tour.
As you can see, they're really taking this seriously. It should be a great day...
Here are Gabby and I taking pictures of each other while the boys do all the work.
About an hour later we had climbed this big huge mountain - on foot! Holy Cow, we were tired. Clearly had we known that "everyone" takes a taxi (convertable even!) we would have chosen that route.
In the process of hiking/climbing I lost half my clothes and couldn't be bothered to care.
Soon after reaching unheard of heights, we found a restaurant with this view from our table. Hello! Can't complain.
Gabby's lunch - Very Italian.
My lunch - So Capri.
Jim's dream boat.
Views of lower Sorrento from the ferry.
Unfortunately we didn't take too many pictures in Capri, but trust me it's beautiful and fabulous and all that jazz.

i would say that my heart goes out to you for needlesly climbing a massive hill, but you DID miss two weeks of boot camp while i was home suffering. and then my only view was the parking lot afterwards! LOL! i don't meant to sound bitter! Those pictures are breathtaking! You should frame some of those.
I'm a couple of blogs behind, but I've got a couple of good recommendations (I think) for books on ancient Rome and Greece:
"I Claudius" & "Claudius the God": Robert Graves' fictionalised accounts of the life of the Emporer Claudius. Written by a really brilliant writer and full of intrigue, sex and politics!
"Quo Vadis" by Henryk Sienkiewicz; this is all about the persecution of the early Christians during the time of Nero, I read it a long time ago but I remember really enjoying it. I love the old English translation of "quo vadis" which is "whither goest thou", much nicer than "where are you going"
For ancient Greece anything by Mary Renault is good, she died about 25 years ago and is another really good writer. I've only read "The Praise Singer" which I really enjoyed and I know she is very highly regarded.
Loving Capri!
That hill is very Brazil-like. And it was HUGE!!! Did you walk all the way back down too?
