Capri

Capri
We took a ferry from Sorrento to Capri to spend a day on the island, before returning to our hotel at Sorrento for the night.  If we had read the "Lonely Planet - Italy" before our trip, we would have looked out for the "great camera shot of Capri town with the dramatic slopes of Monte Solaro (589m) to the west" as the ferry approached the island.

(picture, left top) Capri island claimed to be the birthplace for the lemony alcoholic drink, limoncello.  It is also known for its lemon-scented perfume. (left bottom) A good place to people-watch is at Piazza Umberto I (also known as the Piazzetta). (right) Ceramic tiles are also big-sellers in Capri.
