Conquering my fear of heights in Italy: Travel Memory #4

April 3, 2012

I’m currently in Peru and Bolivia with spotty internet access, but have scheduled posts of some of my favourite travel photos from over the years. Enjoy!

I’m afraid of heights, true.  But taking a chair lift up and down a gargantuan hill on the island of Capri during a trip to Italy a couple of years ago compelled me to put my fears aside.

The chair lift that scales Monte Solaro takes you to the highest point on Capri, 569 metres about sea-level.  The view was divine, I made it back down in one piece.  Just call me Braveheart… ;-)
Would you take the chair lift up Monte Solaro? Are you afraid of heights?

Psst! Don’t forget to “like” me on Facebook if you haven’t already! Your support is much appreciated!

I am afraid of heights, but I make myself get over it, so I would probably do this. Looks scary, but cool.
