Capri

Before we left for Italy, I had done some research on what to do while in Capri. One of the things I discovered was to purchase a pair of handmade sandals. Well, guess what I just had to do? I was super excited about this day. I was also sad, though, because it was the last day of our trip. I wanted to soak it all in before we flew out.



After breakfast, we took a bus to our boat that would take us to the Island of Capri. We were given options to walk around and do as we please or take a boat ride around the whole island on a tour. We opted for the boat ride, and I'm glad we did.

Before our boat tour, we had time to shop, and I visited many shoe shops that made sandals! I looked around and settled on a pair which were handmade in 10 minutes. We stopped at a coffee shop, and I drank a cappuccino while Zach had gelato. The weather was perfect. I couldn't have asked the good Lord for any better!

For the boat tour, our captain pointed out interesting things about the island. There is an archway called Faraglioni, and you are supposed to go through this rock formation and kiss your sweetheart. If you do this, then you and your sweetheart will be together forever. Well, from a distance it looked like a rather small opening, yet our captain drove his boat right through it. 

After our boat tour, we sadly said goodbye to Capri and headed back to our hotel in Sorrento. We freshened up and took our last tour to Positano, a beautiful area of houses, shops, and eateries on the seaside cliff. Unfortunately, the weather was gloomy, the drive was very windy, and I became car sick. I did not get to enjoy my time there but still managed to eat gelato. This made me feel a little better, until our drive back.



That evening we had one last farewell dinner. We had a nice, last evening of delicious Italian food. It was very fresh. This lovely place was more like a home. I'm sorry I did not get more information about this place, for it really was a treat. The chef prepared a dish of rice with a lemony sauce. Sounds simple right? It was so much more than that. Not only did I eat my portion, I ate Zach's...I am ashamed. Not really. It was really good!  But the time came for us to say goodbye to our fellow travelers, our tour guide, and our bus driver. After hugs and kisses, we found what time we should be in the lobby to leave for the airport and got some rest before our outgoing flight the next day.

We awoke early and headed to the Naples Municipal Airport. It is always sad leaving a country you fall in love with, but I have been back to Rome since then. Italy will always have a piece of my heart.
