Excerpts

'Capri is pure enchantment, and can lay fair claim to being the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean, a delicious garden of Eden with over 800 species of flowers and plants cascading over a sheer chunk of limestone. An Eden, but one where the angels have definitely let down their guard.'
