As you may have guessed from Erin's last entry, Brenna and I have been in Capri for the past few days. First off, Capri is beautiful, like in the overwhelmingly gorgeous kind of way, so of course we took a lot of scenic pictures.

Us at the highest point on the island
On the fist day that we were there, getting there late in the day, we hung around the town that our hotel was in, Anacapri. The island is made up of two towns, Capri and Anacapri. Anacapri is the smaller, more laid back of the two. Around sunset, we headed to Faro point, which is in a corner of the island and took our best cliff modeling shots.
The second day that we were there we spend most of the day at Capri's biggest beach, Marina Piccola, which again was completely stunning.

Brenna and I took turns jumping off that tallest rock, which they'll be amazing pictures of as soon as Brenna gets home to upload her shots.

We were a little disappointed though, cause apparently when they say "sandy beach" in the Mediterranean, they mean rocky beach, lots and lots of rocks, painful rocks.
Later that night we headed to the town of Capri for dinner. While the view of the sunset was gorgeous.....

we were sorely underdressed. Note to all, don't head to Capri, especially for dinner, without all of the necessary yachting gear; designer purse, freshly starched button down, sweater tied jauntily around the neck...you get the idea.
The last day we were there, Brenna somehow convinced me to take a "chairlift" (literally a single chair suspended above the island) up to the highest point in Capri. While the view was mindblowing, I should have brought a brown paper bag to hyperventilate into. Although at that point I should have been over it since the entire island is covered in roads on the sides of cliffs with basically no guard rail.

those little chairs you can barely see? yea, we rode up a mountain on them.

the yellow wheel is where we ended, the white houses are where we started.
After that we headed on the ferry to Naples, and on the train from Naples back to meet Erin in Rome.
