I met a pretty stewerdess in Munich on the way to Naples. I asked where I should go. One of the places she recommended was Capri. She assured me I would love Naples and the area as the weather “is always perfect”.

I ended up going with tow girls from Romania. After hiking around the west side of the island all day we went to the East side. It grew quickly crowded and then started pouring rain.

It poured for hours. There were dozens of people huddled in the Funicular tunnel trying to stay dry. All the shop owners rolled up the awnings an left.

I went into a little cafe/bar/paesceria with a couple Germans and drank beer and stayed, erm, dry.

Hours later I went ot the Funicular and found the Romanians. noone knew where to get our ferryback so I played the hero and waded through the knee deep water running down off the mountainous island to check with the ferry tickets booths.

Of course our ferry (the passenger only ferry) was cancelled due to rough weather. We ended up exchanging tickets for a ride on another (auto) ferry and made it back to the hotel….

Definitely as memorable, if not more so that the Blue Grotto.
