If It Was Good Enough For Tiberius

Blog posting for the coming two weeks may be even more erratic then usual, for I will be holidaying in Italy where the WIFI can be and usually is hit and miss to say the least. Most of that time will be spent on Capri, the island in the Tyrrhenian Sea that was the home of Tiberius when he was emperor of Rome and that is all the recommendation a reasonable man needs.

One of the many good things about Capri is that when a man tires of views and small cafes he can get on a hydrofoil and be in Naples or Sorrento in less than an hour, where he can enjoy views and small cafes (this means that you may expect the occasional post having to do with views and/or small cafes). The trip will not be entirely pleasure of course, as there will be fittings at Davies & Sons and George Cleverley in London as well as Napolisumisura in Naples.

I admit that the trip is principally self-indulgent but I hope to be able to share enough of it to keep you interested.

Capri is lovely. My wife still dreams of spending a week's vacation there. Some day . . .

They did, though, wonder what Tiberius was actually doing there!

Lucky man. A great place to stay or visit. Do the boatmen at the blue grotto still grope the girls? That whole Amalfi coast area south of Naples is delightful.
