28th & 29th March

 

The 28th we went to the IsIe of Capri or as the Italians say CAAAAAAAAAAAAPRIIIIIIIIIIII. I think I got that right. Pretty cool place with a great trip over in a ferry.  On the island we went to a home of a Swedish doctor Exel Munke.  This place was built before the road was built and is a pretty incredicvle location. Property over on the island is about $1.5M for 100sm.  Pretty cheap really.  Luckily we arrived at the beginning of the season as there were only about 3000 people a day visit whereas in the peak time it is about 25,000 a day.

 

 

In the avo we visited a timber inlay company that is in its 5th generation of manufacture. Sadly for the bank account Lou was in a buying mood. It is hard to appreciate the work involved in developing this product.

In the evening we made pasta and had a four course meal.  The Italians love to eat. I have discovered Lemoncello.  Give me you lemons and I will make some.  LOL.

On the 29th we got on a bus to the Amafi coast. Looks like a great fishing spot and the locations of the houses are incredible.  In this area as with a lot of areas you can’t get a building permit for a new build.  However you can rebuild to the same foot print of the original home or barn, so nothing is pulled down because once it is pulled down you can’t rebuild.  Looks like our place actually.

We had to change to a smaller bus to get to Almafi. As we drive now there is a drop of about 500m of the edge of the road and the road is not wide.  We past a big bus earlier and we had to back up and pull over and they had to pull their mirrors in to pass. The road is also very winding and with a continuous middle line, but hey we are in Italy and God protects the chosen ones.  They pass anywhere, hills corners you name it and they believe it is okay to pass other vehicles.  Just like Vietnam really only more mountains and smaller roads.
