chair and shouting "Bruno Bruno I afraid get me down". Well this was so funny I couldn't stop laughing and nearly fell out of my chair lift (everybody else on chair lift seemed to be laughing at this lady as well). To this day I feel guilty about laughing so much and wonder how that poor lady got down.
~ Capri Town ~
Dominating the eastern side of the island, the capital has its centre one of the mediterranean's most fashionable meeting places, Piazza Umberto1, better known as the Piazzetta, which is more like a courtyard than a square.
We sat at a cafe looking across at the clock tower and the quaint baroque Santo Stefano church. The square offers an escape from the madding crowds just two minutes away, in it's maze of little arcaded lanes and shops. Here I got chance to practise my limited Italian at a cafe ...

A well-off English woman is married to a not so well-off Italian nobleman and has acquired the name and title of Duchess Lola d?Acquaviva, quite impressive, but unfortunately her marriage is in tatters.

Altogether the trip took a little over an hour, and it was time well spent. You should plan to get there early because the Grotto will be closed if the seas get too rough. It is not really suitable for the disabled.
VILLA DI TIBERIO
This is another place that you should visit when on the Isle of Capri.
An ancient legend has it that the emperor Tiberius took pleasure in having people who displeased him thrown off the thousand-root-high cliff, but there is no factual evidence of this.

On the way back, you will come to a fork ...
