This is a view of the lovely island of Capri off the coast of Italy. In ancient times Capri was part of the mainland. Caesar Augustus' son Tiberius ruled from Capri during the last years of his reign. Once a fishing village, Capri's economy now depends on the tourist trade. A volcano on the island erupts every 50 years or so but hasn't since the 40s. The speed the island's drivers took the steep road's hair-raising turns kept me gripping the seat and trying to look straight ahead, instead of at the sheer drop, but views at the top are spectacular.
Swimmers and boaters take turns to enter the caves dotting the water's edge near the Faraglioni Rock.
Hope you enjoyed this mini-photo tour of Italy. I enjoyed sharing the memories.
Blessings,
Janet
