Capri: Part 1

From Sorrento, we took a ferry over to Capri, where we had booked a fabulous (and rather expensive) hotel room for three (or was it four?) nights of total and utter relaxation. While this will not mean anything to anyone else except Lies and me, at this point I just have to say..."'ello 'ello, cherrie, cherrie, verie sweet cherrie!"

The hotel room was splendid, totally perfect. This first pic is the view from our verandah. Totally divine and perfect for that early evening glass of wine!

During the day Capri is also complete chaos - people take day trips to the island in their masses, but in the evenings, it empties out almost entirely. It is totally worth spending the money to stay overnight, although I must say, you will have to spend quite a bit of money. It has a reputation for being expensive and lives up to that reputation, and that is saying something coming from Norway!

We stayed about 10 minutes drive out of the centre of Capri, on a quiet side of the island and that was absolutely perfect for us. We had a fabulous little beach where we could swim and bake just 2 minutes walk away. Even though in the heat of the day, the tiny stretch of rocky beach was full, it was full of Italians and that helped make the experience feel authentic. And the water, oh the water! So clean, so clear, so refreshing...and so salty! I could literally do a vertical float! So fun. Lies and I just LOVED it.

Here I am casually soaking up the sun in front of what Lies and I affectionately called Fraggle Rocks.

Here is another shot of the full fraggles, of which we took about a thousand photos! They were so sweet and stunning in the various shades of light we saw them bathed in that we just could not resist.
Unfortunately blogger has had a little fit of some kind and is not letting me post anymore photos...so they will have to wait for next time. Hope these couple of shots of the stunning Capri have whet your appetite enough to make you wait! xxx
