CAPRI in ITALY

Hello readers. More on my update of my Italy trip. Yes, i'm not done showing my pictures yet. Thank you for waiting patiently. Starting a new job and learning German has distracted me from sitting down to write. I hope to continue to keep writing as i have been taking lots of pictures.
Well, these are pictures from Capri. It's an island off of Naples. We took an early ferry as it was cheaper than the later times.

The weather wasn't the greatest when we got there. The clouds covered the island. Then it start to pour. It was cold and miserable....but as a Vancouverite, I guess I should be use to it huh.
Guess what we found!!! A FIG TREE! It wasn't on any propery. It was like on the streets so we happily helped ourselves to some figs. Another girl from the hostel came with us and she must have thought we were crazy. But that's the fun part of it.....exploring fruit from the region.

We just like fruit. Any fruit. I need my daily fruit intake. If not, I get cranky. hahaha. I sure need sugar....I haven't had anything today. Perhaps i'll go get a mandarin orange now. :)  In germany, I can get any fruit here. It's just like Canada. You can get any fruit you want. It all depends on where they come from. Most of the fruit are local, but after the season, they come from abroad. It's tough to eat locally. BUT, the only fruit you can get locally is Jan's grandparents apples. hehhee. They have  about 5 apple trees or so and they have those apples all year round. I just don't understand how apples can be kept for that long. It's amazing.

So the early morning was nice. I'm in summer clothes hoping to spend the afternoon on the beach. It's a nice place here, but the weather wasn't really cooperating with us.



See, the sun is out in this photo.

A new fruit. Or is it a fruit. I don't know what it was so i didn't pick it to eat it. IT looks like a flower, or not a rype flower. hahhaa

Does it even look edible?

So here is a picture of the clouds rolling in. YIKES! How long will they last?

Here is a neat ceramic sign for a pub. I liked the sea theme. :)

As for the picture on the right, .50 Euros to go to the bathroom. Like I said before, if i can find a university to go to the bathroom, why should I pay!!! But there are times when you can't find a University, hence you have to pay. BOOERS! Had to pay for the bathroom.



So instead of heading out in the rain and on the beach, we had an early lunch/snack. We needed to kill some time as we didn't want to leave yet, but also didn't know when the rain would stop. So here I am, it's raining outside, and I'm having ice-cream. hahahaa. I was told to have NETELLA ice-cream. It's to die for....well, i'm not sure if i'll actually die for an ice-cream. I did enjoy it thought. Although, it was 3 Euros. What an expensive ice-cream. But i'm in Italy...that is where ice-cream was invented or made!!! HAHAHA.

So, we heading out of Capri thinking that it wasn't going to get any better. We were cold and didn't want to stay anymore. THings are expensive as it's a tourist place. Lots of hotels and people on their honeymoon. IT's beautiful, but I think we saw enough. Soon after, the sun came blazing out. What a bummer. We already got our ferry ticket to head back. Oh well, perhaps another time.

On the way back, we sat on the deck. We took pictures and watched the waves go by. Near the end of the ferry ride, I thought i'd take some pictures of Naples from far away. BAD IDEA!! I was sure getting sea sick. So glad that I didn't stand up earlier.

So as we got back to Naples, we walked around town to shop, and look to find more figs to buy and perhaps grab a real lunch.
We then saw this huge tube of nutella. They love nutella. It's in everything they make. YUM. In the photo on the right, i found this car with their lock. Oh my, if they are scared that people are going to steal cars, look at this. No one can steal this car. hahaha.

So here I am, found a catus fruit. I bought one to try what it tastes like. I wasn't sure how to eat it or what to do. I finally opened it up and gave it a try. Hum.....no impressed. Did not like it at all. Perhaps i didn't pick a rype one or it was already too rype. Not my kind of fruit. YUCK! The ice cream flavor was good. But it wasn't too sweet. So that might be why the fruit wasn't yummy.

Pizza was the thing in Italy since, for 3 Euro, you would get a medium pizza that can fill you up for the whole day. YUM!
After that, we went to get ice-cream. I wanted something new. So I got the ice-cream chocolate in a ball. There was a bigger one that I should have gotten instead....if only Tanya shared it with me. Otherwise, my stomach can only handle so much food.

Naples had a little Christmas street selling all these handmade ornament. They were so pretty. But so fragile.


Anyhow, these are some pics for Capri. Hope you enjoyed it. Praya is next. Gotta have a break. Learn some German vocab.
