Day 4

The Isle of Dreams

Another day filled with wonderful adventures...

We start out with Breakfast at our hotel
Duration: 00:00.15 sec.

I must say, that looks more like dessert than breakfast...

Our group exiting out the back way with our new
local tour guide, JenCarla - she left as I took the picture -
you can barely see her blond hair as she leaves to the left.

Loading into the Funicular on our way to the dock.

Setting up to take a quick video.
This is a family that was in our group.

Riding the Funicular down to the dock.
Duration: 00:00.29 sec.

Exiting the station.
This is Jimmy who loaned us 20 Euros as we worked
out our ATM card dilemma.

Now we are on a smaller boat with a local driver
taking us 3/4 around the Isle of Capri

Our tour guide pointing out the rock formation
that look like "donkey ears".

The locals call the water, "Blue Water". It is
breath-takingly beautiful.

I'm trying to capture the red rocks just below
the surface of the water. You can barely see the
glimmering red rocks in this photo.

I'm trying to capture the beauty of the water.
In a later photo you will see just how
clear the water is as you look at the bottom of the sea.

Here the guide is pointing out the rock shape of
an elephant. See it?

Supposedly there was blue rock in this
landform. I couldn't really figure it out.

Here's the picture I was telling you about...
this is the bottom of the sea. So clear!

Approaching Lovers Lane.
(In the distance you can see the beautiful Faraglioni rocks)

Lovers would go through this tunnel in the sea
and if they'd kiss in the middle of the arch their relationship
would last forever!
Duration: 00:00.25 sec.

Heading back to where we started.

Another look at the land forms.
I love the different shades of green.

Usually when you take a picture in the sun
it doesn't turn out too well.
This one isn't too bad.

Our destination is in sight.

There was a recent rock slide here
I tried to capture in this picture.

Back at the port of Capri.

Now we're on a different boat bound for Positano.
This is Mount Vesuvius in the distance.

That was a quick ride - here it is - Positano.
Positano is part of the infamous Amalfi Coast.

Another view.

OK my grand children.
Can you see Nana in this picture?
If you can, I will give you a prize.

We had to put our feet into the Mediterranean Sea.

Here's a map which shows the layout of the land.
The Isle of Capri is to the bottom left.
Positano is located at the point where the
yellow, green, & red arrows come together.

Leaving Positano.
The building in the middle is the center of the town.
It is a Christian Church.

To protect the land from pirate invasions, these
towers were built and used to notify the people
of any kind of enemy invasion.

Taking the Funicular back to the top.
Duration: 00:00.24 sec.

End the day with extended free time.

Trying to find a restaurant using the back alleys
Duration: 00:00.16 sec.

We found one just a few feet from our hotel.


The main entrance to our Hotel Gatto Bianco.

Calling it a day!

A very good one at that!
