Last day before leaving to pick-up the kids. It's a little cloudy, but no rain. We have decided to see Capri...Nancy and Marie are coming with us...Nancy says, "should I bring a sweater"....nah...wrong! It was cool on the ferry. Of course, we had to take the Forniculare from Marina Grande to Capri (just in case you don't have Google nearby..a Funicular is two railroad cars attached with a cable so when one is going up the other is going down). From Capri, which was at a min-max (like a saddle) with a nice cooling wind, we took a stretch covertable taxi to Anacapri, a little higher and a little cooler on a plain. We toured the historical part of town, eating lunch in a garden restaurant, with possibly the best pasta in the world.
Finally we took the chairlift (sort of kitchen chairs on a string) to the top of cold Mount Solero. Nancy and I had coffee at the top, which helped a little.
Down the chairlift...down to Capri in sardine packed Bus, down the sardine packed Funiculare, back to Positano belowdecks on the ferry, up the hills of Positano in a sardine packed bus...to our villa where Nancy immediately went to the stove to cook some delicious risoto and maybe to absorb some of the heat of the stove.
The Hinkleys returned from dinner and we had a nice little party in the dining room, until 10:00. Brian and Allana were leaving for New Hampshire in the morning, and Megan was leaving for Florence, as were we.
