In Capri!


Blue Grotto in Capri

This was one of the best weekends ever :)

Thursday of course I finished packing and got ready and we got on our bus to Sorrento. We knew we would be stopping for dinner but we literally did not till 9 o clock. We were starving. But as we got out of the bus, we realized that the bus next to us had Jesus on it. COINCIDENCE? I think not. Jesus was our savior.

We got to Sorrento late that night and slept. Friday morning we got on a ferry to CAPRI! It was so beautiful. First, we took an island boat tour and we also visited the Blu Grotto. Then we headed to the city center and then down to the beach for the rest of the time. We almost got left behind on the beach since no one told us about the bus. Thanks guys.

We got back and had our three course dinner at the hotel - bruschetta, penne pasta with red sauce, and fries with chicken. I just didn't eat the chicken. Then instead of going out we were lame and read and went to bed. Atleast I read three books this weekend - Da Vinci Code, Bridget Jones' Diary, and Kite Runner. All very good. Next up will be Angels and Demons, followed by Digital Fortress, and then I'm up for recommendations. Probably finish up the Shopaholic series and also finish Bridget Jones.

Saturday we got up late-ish and went to Positano for the day, which is also beautiful. We spent the day on the beach, reading, soaking up the sun, etc. Had a nice, long, lazy, expensive lunch. Once we got back, had dinner again, and then back to reading and sleep.

Sunday was nice too. We walked around Sorrento, got some gelato, read in the city. Then we left for Pompei, and spent some time there. Had some close to real Napoli pizza! Thenn back on the charter bus and back to Firenze.

Today has been good too - after Italian we went to Piazza Michelangelo and I finally ate a waffel! SO worth it. LOL. Plan for the rest of the week:

Today - People watching at Piazza della Republica, Going out :)
Tomorrow - Lunch at some random place, COOKING CLASS
Wednesday - Bologna
Thursday - Oil Shoppe, Mercato Centrale, Packing, Going out :)
Friday - Cucciolo, Walk around Firenze, Duomo
