~ A Day In Capri ~
We booked a day trip to capri with a representative from our hotel (we were staying at the Excelsior Vittoria Hotel) in Sorrento this trip cost approx £60.00 per person.

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. She lives with her dog in her in-laws? villa on Capri, her husband works and stays mainly in Naples visiting her only occasionally, the persons she sees most often is her gay Italian neighbour and her cleaning lady.
