Update
Sorry the original post was so short... and over a month later...
Anyway, my day on Capri started by trying to meet up with some coworkers to catch the jet boat over. When they where nowhere to be found at the appointed time (10:00), I walked over to the port. They weren't there either, so I went ahead and caught the boat. I got there and started by walking up the huge hill from the harbor to the actual town of Capri. About 1/2 way up I passed a group of 3 people. When I reached the end of the sidewalk and had to wind through houses, I slowed down. The 3 people caught up to me. We ended up talking... they spoke English with a British accent... it turned out that they were acutally from Germany, but learned English from a British teacher. I ended up tagging along with Anka, Ano, and Flurien as we made our way around the island. We caught a bus from Capri to Anicapri (on the western side of the island). As we walked around the town, we found what looked to be a Greek church that was being restored. We took a break for lunch and bought sandwiches and other snacks from a local deli that was open. The food was really good... fresh made bread and good ham and pepper cheese.
After lunch we walked down from the town and tried to find a castle that was marked on the map... we never really found it. We ended up turning back and caught the bus back to Capri where we had a cup of coffee and some really good gelato. Gelato is like ice cream but better... I think it's made with pure lard to make it taste so good. We wrapped up the day by catching the boat back to Naples. All in all, it was a really good day. If the sun had been out, it would have been better... seems to be the story of my life on this project... if only I had better weather :)
