Our next stop was the island of Capri. The dock was located under this giant rock cliff and we had a lovely view of the greenery that climbed it. In the morning, the air was thick with the songs of the birds.
A pleasant surprise while we were in Capri, a friend's boat pulled in alongside us. As he said, it's always wonderful to meet familiar smiling faces in the places along the way. So true. Even if you only get to chat for a few minutes, it's always good to catch up and see your friends.
For our afternoon break, we took the funicular from the coast to the city of Capri above. What a view!
Capri is known for its upscale shopping (and upscale hotels and spas etc etc...), but that's not what we were into. We quickly passed the tourists and their pricey shops to find some back streets to wander.
From these back streets you could get the occasional view of the coast. Once away from the frantic mob of tourists, we were able to see the real draw for the island. It was positively beautiful in its quaint charm.

After leaving Capri, we anchored out for the day in Nerano. It was an absolutely gorgeous day along the Amalfi coast.

No Blue Grotto? Next time you must, if you haven't before. I had the most amazing tart when I was in Capri. That is what I remember best--the food I ate that day! What kind of food do you generally eat, especially when you are on the boat and can't leave?
