The main attraction of our last day on Capri was the non Roman Catholic cemetery founded in 1878 ”for all non-catholics irrespective of race or religion”.
At the site – not far from Capri town, but quite a long walk from Anacapri – some of the island's most famous foreign inhabitants are burried; Norman Douglas, Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen and Gracie Fields to name a few.
Leaving Capri tomorrow will be like dying a little. Jumping on the train to Bologna in Naples will most likely revive us.
I had meant to report on the letters from Italo Tavolato to Ulla Bjerne today, and write more about her book Förförare (”Seducers”), among other things, but all that will have to wait until I am back in Stockholm. (Internet access again on Friday pm.)
You see, I have been busy with the sun, buying dried figs (just to lose them an hour later at the lunch restaurant in Marina Picola), having afternoon coffee and chiche (lemon flavored almond paste cookies) near the Piazzetta, and gasping at another sunset from the top of la Foresteria at the Villa San Michele.
