First visit to Capri - arrival to Naples

It was the year 2005, when I first discovered this beautiful island, which now has become my special place in the world - my blue paradise. It started as a complete shock.

As soon as we were out of the train station, we - two blonds - were overwhelmed by noise, incredible heat, life that went on with such a speed that it made our heads spin.
