We asked for a room with a view and the girl said they had nothing but she would see what she could do. Well when we arrived back at the hotel this afternoon, she had a room with a huge balcony looking right out over the water. So nice, but we can only have for one night so she is looking into sending us to a sister hotel tomorrow. Can't really unpack but this is preferable to no place to read and relax.
We walked up to Capri Centro, the town centre. It is just as fast to walk as the steps cut through the city rather than the long windy road by car. The pathway to walk is less than 5 feet wide and yet that is the route the garbage and mail trucks take so they use these little mini 3 wheel trucks and most folks have a scooter rather than cars.

From town centre, we walked down the other side of the island to the Piccolo Marina versus the Grand Marina on our side of the island.

We took the city bus from the beach back up to city centre and ate at a little pizza place recommended by our hotel. Food was great and cost much less than the touristy place we ate yesterday.

We walked back to our hotel, so lots of walking and a lot more steps than Rick had ever agreed to but I think he enjoyed it as much as I. We had some spectacular views. I still have no voice so another quiet day. After a little reading on the balcony, I walked down to the east beach, the Grande Marina to get some water and was back in our room in less than 20 minutes. These photos were all taken on our walk down to the west side beach. From the top you cahn see ocean on both sides of the island. It is very narrow.
