A Day In Capri Italy

Advantages: Lots to see and do
Disadvantages: not enough time

...~ A Day In Capri ~ We booked a day trip to capri with a representative from our hotel (we were staying at the Excelsior Vittoria Hotel) in Sorrento this trip cost approx £60.00 per person. We got the hydrofoil from the marina piccolo which takes about twenty to thirty minutes or so. As we approached Capri I was amazed at the view of elegant brightly coloured buildings and tropical trees and plants it really does take your breath away and looks a bit like Balamory (colourful childrens programme based around Balamory) with all the beautiful colours and shapes, I think you will see what I mean on the photo's. ~ AnaCapri ~ We got a minibus to AnaCapri which is the island's second (Ana-means other), quieter town with lovely little white houses halfway up the slopes of Monte Solaro (which is the highest point on capri...

Review of Capri (Italy)

Capri Crime

Advantages: thrilling, brill twist at the end
Disadvantages: none

...A well-off English woman is married to a not so well-off Italian nobleman and has acquired the name and title of Duchess Lola d?Acquaviva, quite impressive, but unfortunately her marriage is in tatters. She lives with her dog in her in-laws? villa on Capri, her husband works and stays mainly in Naples visiting her only occasionally, the persons she sees most often is her gay Italian neighbour and her cleaning lady. To occupy her mind she decides to write a book, she doesn?t have any special interests or qualifications, but the neglected villa adjoining hers, which once belonged to a well-known foreign aristocrat and paedophile, gives her the idea to write about this man. In order to get into the mood of the period, the turn of the last but one century, and to learn more about the man she sends an email to the Englishman Simon Parks...

Review of Capri File - Amanda Prantera

They should still make the Capri 1.6 today

Advantages: Easily worked on, Roomy, Sporty and stylish
Disadvantages: Doesnt hold road too well, rot patches

...Had three of these cars in my time and i am looking for one at this moment. A bit silly really, but in my younger days (now 42) always used it as a hobby, and you could vurtually do anything to these cars. Unlike modern cars, the whole inside could be changed by means seats are very easily changed along with carpet and dash board. This always made the fitting of stereo systems and graphic equeliser a dream. There are negatives with these cars and that needs mentioning. All the models i owned were 1.6 and the cosumption wasnt good. I used to get around the 20 to the gallon around town and up to 40 on a run depending how i used to drive. The car is not a sports car and they do not hold the road very well, to make things a little better i opted for low profile tyres of good quality as i lost the back end once or twice. All three of my...

Review of Ford Capri 1.6

When in rome..whatever, when in Naples.. go to Capri.

Advantages: Pure beauty in a tiny island
Disadvantages: VERY expensive

...of lovely restaurants and shops there. To get to the higher part of the town there are various options: the Funicular railway, which leaves every 15 minutes and, in peak times, every 5 minutes; a taxi, or the St. Costanzo line bus. We took the bus, and it was an incredible journey that stopped close to the Church of St Costanzo and the cemetery. Anyone feeling energetic can walk along the main road and all of the intersecting pedestrian lanes. All of these lanes lead to the medieval entrance of Capri. The funicular is supposed to be the quickest way to get from the port of Marina Grande to Capri Town and the journey itself takes about 5 minutes But we were advised by staff at our hotel to take the bus, taxi or walk if it was busy. A Single ticket for the funicular costs Euro1.40 and you can pre-buy as many paper tickets as you...

Review of Capri (Italy)

Capri-Sun Juice Drink

Advantages: quality, nice packaging, very tasty.
Disadvantages: addictive, high in sugar. pricey

...I can remember when I first had a Capri-Sun orange juice drink when i was a child drinking it in the summer time, it was one of my favourite juice drinks and it still is till this very day. I would always beg my mum for more when it had finished as they were just simply so delicious and to quench thirsty to resist. So the Capri-Sun are one of just a few juice drinks that I have grown up on till this very day. But as a grown adult I still never get bored of drinking them. The only thing that sometimes tries to come between me and a Capri-Sun is the price as I tend to drink a lot of it as its so addictive to drink and so like to buy multi-pack say ten 200ML juice pouches for around £1.75 from Iceland as single ones does not last long especially with my young daughter who also loves to drink them. The Capri-Sun has not changed much over...

Review of Capri-Sun

Is £5,000 enough to change your life? I Love Capri by Belinda Jo

Advantages: A charming and a must read book - a love story with a difference
Disadvantages: Leaves you with a strong desire to visit Capri - one that is very hard to quell!!

...I am ashamed to say as a woman in her (very) late 50's I love the old chick-lit, fluffy book, and I also love books by Belinda Jones. I was given this book several years ago by my eldest daughter, after she had sung its praises and had a mad desire to board a plane and set off for Capri straight away !! As any chick-lit reader will know the cover of a book ( well sometimes you can judge a book by its cover !!) can be the thing that draws you to the book, and so it is with this book - a real 'girlie', glitzy cover that says 'read me' on the front!! After a recent visit to the Bay of Naples and the wonderful island of Capri, I decided to re-read this little jem, hence my review on it now. However my review comes with a wealth warning --- reading this book will send you running to the travel agents to book the next flight to...

Review of I Love Capri - Belinda Jones

Fiori di Capri

Advantages: Scent, long lasting, unique
Disadvantages: price, difficulty to find

...The description of an essence is far more complex than the addition of formulas which jointly result in a perfume. Each component is especially chosen to represent a human characteristic, therefore making the perfume transcendent a single sense and, nearly define an entire personality. Fiori di Capri is the definition of class. The aroma is refined and utterly chic in a way that intimidates those who are not comfortable with luxury. Of all the perfumes I have encountered, Fiori di Capri is the most opulent without falling into the ridicule of excess. In order to understand Fiori di Capri, it is important to regard its origins and the legend which famed the creation of the Carthusia perfumery. Capri is a delightful island in the Bay of Naples and has been traditionally the home-in-the-sun for rich and powerful. There is something...

Review of Carthusia Fiori Di Capri Eau de Parfum

I Love Capri: Oustanding book!

Advantages: Amazing book!!!! Great Storyline, believable characters.
Disadvantages: You'll spend your life savings going to capri!!!

...Belinda Jones is one of my favourite authors, and this book is one of my favourite books ever! I read the book while at lake como in Italy, and it made me want to go to Capri so so much. The book not only has a wonderful storyline, but also sets such a romantic setting. Everytime you open the pages you get a sense of romance. Believe me when you read this book, you'll want to jump on a plane straight to capri! This really is a book that you won't want to put down!!! I recommend it to anyone who has read and enjoyed Belinda Jones books before, if you've never read Jones books before, but you like books by authors such as Jane Green, Marian Keyes, Cecilia Ahern. The story is that of translator Kim, whose Grandfather has just died. She has never met him due to a family scandel, when he had an affair with her Grandmother Carmela who...

Review of I Love Capri - Belinda Jones

Capri-Sun

Advantages: Good for quick drink, easily disposable
Disadvantages: Not enough in pouch, leaves you still feeling thirsty

...Capri-Sun is a brand of soft fruit drink that sells for £2.27 in Asda for 10 pouches, working out at roughly 22-23p per pouch. Each pouch is 200ml and is perfect for a quick drink due to the ability to dispose of it quickly via a bin etc. The packaging is superb and very secure, with a straw on the back of the pouch to ensure easy drinking. The only disadvantage of Capri-Sun drinks are that you feel like you are still really thirsty after you have finished drinking, and therefore I usually have to have another pouch to compensate this. The flavours that are available are orange, apple, blackcurrent (my personal favourite), strawberry, apple and blackcurrent, orange and tropical, tropical, starwberry kiwi, fruit punch, grape, red berry, lemonade, wild cherry and many others including sports collections. Capri-Suns are ideal...

Review of Capri-Sun

Brighten your day with a Capri-Sun

Advantages: Handy is you are on the go, nice flavours
Disadvantages: can't stand upright when you have drank alot

...'t contain any artificial flavouring, colour or preservative. They come in orange, blackcurrant and tropical flavour. Well these are the only ones I have seen myself!! They also come in packs. We brought ours when on offer for £1.50 for a 10 pack. This is not a drink I have on a regular basis so I don't know what a normal price would be. I think most supermarkets will stock Capri Suns as they have been around for years. It has been some years since I have had these but because they were on offer we got some and they have re woken my liking for this drink. I think these are good for children's lunch's and for us big kids too if you fancy something different from your normal cans of fizzy drinks. Would buy again. I'll give them 9 out of 10! For more go to: planetjuice.co.uk Consumer line: freephone 0800 3890050...
