Capri

Pierce Brosnan stayed at our hotel!


Orange and lemon trees at our hotel.

Beach on the island of Capri!

View from actual Capri which is situated higher up on the island.



I was going to take Mom on these for a view higher up to Anacapri...
Unfortunately we didn't get to ride the lawn chairs because of the clouds.

Took the bus instead.  There were only about six seats and the rest was standing room.

Giant paninis for lunch!


Cappuccino with a view!

Tons of celebrities love Capri!

Lost count of how many cats we stopped to pet.
