Time to get acquainted with Capri and Jim and Tina get out the door as Krim and Clyde take some extra time to get ready. What a wonderful day as we explore, shop, take in the beautiful walks by lovely hotels and peek through gates at beautiful gardens and stately villas. All the big name stores are here so it is a bit like Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills only much prettier and more friendly. Krim and Clyde pick up a bottle of wine and head back in the afternoon and just as the bottle is opened appear Jim and Tina with another bottle or two. It Seems Jim and Tina walked up the road until there was no road left and saw the other side of the island. We compare notes and show off our shopping scores. We ended up going out to find a belt store Jim and Tina found where shoes and belts are hand made, and we got ourselves some beautiful crocodile belts. Nice stuff and the shop is in the third generation of the family business. They gotta the Crocodile, they gotta the snake, they gotta the cow - they gotta all - don't worry 'bot it!
Today is Good Friday and we get the word that a tradition of the village is a procession of people leaving from the church and weaving through the streets. And here they come! Each shop owner lowers the lights as the procession goes by. People with candles, a band paying, priests and a choir singing. Everyone watches quietly.
We hit our wonderful restaurant, "La Campanella". We want to see the procession and the owner invites us to a new table by the window and serves us another complimentary Lemoncello (can you believe it!!).
