Capri and Zurich: Vacation Part Final
I may or may not have forgotten how many “parts” are in our vacation saga. Regardless, this is the end of the trip. Are you ready for an adventure? If you’ve forgotten, we just left Positano behind with all of its not sleep and late-night hotel searches. We got on the ferry to Capri with…
