Capri……..if you have never been you have missed a magical place where the worries of the world are ignored and forgotten. The moment you step onto the island you are embraced by its charm and grace……..no wonder poets, artists and movie makers all desire to eternalize Capri on canvass, in word or on film.
I am heading for dinner in a moment but I wanted to share with you all how Capri has charmed me and I have only been here a few hours.
In a few minutes we will meet up with the Packers, the Bees and my old mate and his wife to be an Elvis lover Jen.
It’s hard to explain how relaxing this place is. We are staying at a Bed and Breakfast run by a beautiful goddess called Madam Totti and although there are many 5 star establishments on the Island I doubt any have the warmth that Mrs. T provides……she makes you feel at home…….really at home.
Anyway, sorry to make this short but I am off to dinner and will send a full report tomorrow.
Just wanted to share my joy with you all……..my mates.
Goodnight
John and Heidi

Even after all these years, I still remember that magical feeling of Capri.
I did not want to leave.

John and Heidi:
Kiss Italy for us and especially Capri. We exchanged our vows there again after 25 years of marriage. Enchanting and sooooo very romantic.
Love to you both, Enjoy and see you soon,
Paula and Nelson Baker
Both you/Heidi deserve this time to relax and envelop yourself in the comfort that is Capri. Enjoy yourself.
Hi John and Heidi!
Have a wonderful time…. wish we could be in Italy right now too. It’s so beautiful there!
Be sure to send us pictures!
John
Any fat free gelato there ??
Ahhh! Beautiful Capri! That and the Amalfi Drive are what it’s all about. That’s some of the most gorgeous scenery to be found. Enjoy!
Dear John and Heidi,
How right you are.Capri has a magic about it which is unforgettable and lives in your memory forever. The gardens are superb and have you seen where Gracie Fields lived on a cliff overlooking the sparkling, clear blue/ green sea.
Enjoy every moment of your time there.
Cheers,
Joan and Rick
Capri… I only know it from photos… but it’s what dreams are made of… breezes, blue, water, sunshine, food, friends…
Have an outstanding visit… My puddling of drool is growing… I’ll sign off…

Hi near-namesake. As an occasional guest speaker on the QE2 and other ships I feel we should meet up before too long. Check my web-site and call in at Fowey some time. Meanwhile enjoy Italy. Penny and I have a Venetian week booked up for October and are already salivating. And are we by any chance related? I have quite a funny story involving Randolph Churchill and Sir Lionel Heald which I will bore you with when we eventually meet.
We loved Capri when we went last year off the Freedom. It was the day 3 coachloads who went to Vesuvious on Carnival excursions were late back to the ship because of a landslip on the road back. Even though it was damp and overcast, the beauty of the place was there for all to see.
We are hoping to take in a long weekend on the Amalfi coast later in the year and go back to Capri and pehaps spend a little longer there
Hi John & Heidi
Glad to see that you are enjoying time with friends and relaxing a little before the Splendor. Can’t wait to see the two of you.
Love,
Suzann
I’m so envious of you and Heidi being in Capri! Enjoy the magicical place and your visit to this piece of Italy.

I, too, fell in love with Capri . . . peaceful, elegant and charming to say the least. Will have to go back some day . . .
Hi John and Heidi
Hope you have a great time in Capri.
While your in Capri you should take advantage of its magic and work on making a John Jr. or mini Heidi
Take Care
James
I went to Rome, Sorrento, and Isle of Capri for spring break in 1974 as a teenager.
I have many, many beautiful pictures and wonderful memories……I hope to go back one day.

John – OK, I give up. What does “…really at home” mean in basic Texan?
Please talk to Carnival about stopping muster at sail away. Long thread on Cruise Critic about this. We want more of a party atmosphere and think it’s lacking.
Hi John/Heidi:
Great to hear from you.
Capri sounds like a lovely place.
Who says you have to spend $750 US/night for good accomdations.
Hope you are having a nice time.
Keep in touch!
David
Ahhh, Italy, I miss it already and just got back not more than a month ago.
Do have a great dinner. How is Emmett? I met the two of you on the Liberity last year. What a time was had by all.
Till next time.
We go every year and totally agree with what you say – time stands still – until you have to come home.
I am one of those people who paint Capri, unfortunately not on Capri but in Nottingham – my paintings do help us remember the beauty and tranquility of the place.
I’m now selling limited edition prints if anyone is interested?
