Update! One final down, one final and one practical to go.
I know more about current trends in Italian cuisine then my brain would like at this current moment. haha exhausted and literally dripping with sweat right now. The high today was 93 degrees…
Not wanting to let Mister Sun win his mischievous game, we set out anyway with gelatos in hand. Gifts and sourvenirs galore! Chocolate leather gloves, Florence-boar branded tees, lambskin bound journals, and the most perfect hand bag… one-of-a-kind..at least among the markets. Success.
We also walked around the Ponte Vecchio and the Oltrarno, watching the best dressed men, probably ever, stroll around in crisp tailored suits… in 93 degree weather. It was quite the sight. [photos to come later (;]
So anyway, I shall continue my Sorrento/Capri rant!
—————–
So after my giddy affair with the Blue Grotto, we trekked our moist bodies up the hill of Capri to Anacapri! The top of the island. You literally take a single person ski lift up the entire way… extremely intimidating being alone towering over the landscape below… but in the end, it was all the more peaceful.
Man, I am one lucky girl.
Still has not hit me that I’ve been in Italy and that I have come so far.
Grazie mille once again to my loved ones.
The view was absolutely spectacular. With gardens and walkways, you could see the entire island from up there. Once in a lifetime experience folks!
The ski lift down was a tad scarier. Ya know, staring down to your death, no big deal?
but we made it back down in one piece and lollied down to the rocky beaches of Capri. I don’t think I have ever swam in more blue or turquoise waters. I conquered my fear of “heights” and jumped off one rock… and got my entire throat dehydrated by the salt water.
So my night ended with…
sea sickness [from hours on the boat]
sun poisoning [too much sun exposure I guess… Yes, I am tan now.]
sore sore sore throat
and erm… the start of some womanhoodthings.
It was real fun.
But the next morning, was even moreeee fun. Thanks roomies. ha. ha.
The beach cured all once again though. Don’t you worry.
Sorrento and Capri, I’ll be back for you too (:
Yu. Me. & Italy
