Capri Part 2

So I was in the middle of telling all about how we took a thousand photos of the fraggle rocks because they just looked so beautiful throughout all the changing light of day and night. Here is another example, just to prove my point beyond any measure of a doubt.




While we had a great view of the fraggles from our hotel balcony, we also loved the view to the other side, which was of the classic milk and pink rock cliffs of Capri, constantly swirled by soaring squarking seabirds. Stunning.


Liesl and I really enjoyed our lovely little balcony with its wonderful views from all sides. It was just perfect for those early evening wines...here Liesl is about to enjoy hers, accompanied by some Reese's peanut butter cups...perhaps not the most traditional combination but we were on holidays!



Crystal blue seas, stunning white cliffs, wine glass and bikini, one of the many ways that I will fondly remember our days on Capri.

Kylie asked in a comment on the previous post how we ever managed to leave such beauty...I know what she means and indeed it was truly heartbreaking to leave, but in many ways, it was truly bank breaking to stay! Liesl and I had a meal one night that cost us more than I dare to admit...but our committment to doing it the proper Italian way with multiple courses resulted in us receiving a second free dessert. Have you ever seen such a delight?

Unfortunately Liesl lost her favourite sunglasses in the restaurant that night, which kind of tainted the memory. Fortunately it meant we had to spend some serious time trying on a thousand new pairs in a fancy store with a scrummy salesman! Things just always had a silver lining on Capri!

In the next and final post from this delightful isle, I will take you on a photographic roundtrip tour from our private boat built for two. If you thought it seemed dreamy up until now, just wait until you see what tomorrow has in store :) xxx
