High Rolling it in Capri

We took a boat to Capri Island (only like a 30 minute trip from Positano) and from Capri’s Marina Grande Port, you can either take a funicular (tram) or a bus up to the main town. We took the bus and then walked a short way down to our Bed and Breakfast, Casa Augusto. We had a really cute room overlooking a big garden. The owners are really lovely people and even brought us some homemade fried Zucchini flowers (An Italian specialty). We were about a 10-minute walk to Capri town's main Piazzetta and then a 15/20-minute walk to Marina Piccola beach.

They say that Capri is full of jet-setters and lots of money. I can see that as there are tons of high-end shops but it was a little quiet while we were there so I really don’t know if I felt a jet-setter, pretty people aura in the air….but maybe that’s just me. Although I will say we saw plenty of ridiculous “P Diddy” type yachts. And yes we were both waiting for an invite. I think next time we'll pretend we're Bollywood royalty! :)

I think a lot of people come to Capri and don’t end up leaving the main town. In my opinion, you really should venture out to other parts of the island if you have the time. Capri town does have great shopping, really nice hotels, and amazing sunset views but there are other great parts of the island. We took a boat tour which was a nice way of seeing the entire island…this way you can walk to your favorite parts later. The Grotta Azzurra was pretty neat – it is this huge cave in the sea where the water is electric blue. It’s quite an experience getting into the cave on a small rowboat through a tiny hole. The cave is almost pitch dark except for the water, which glows from the sun’s reflection outside of the cave. We also went to Anacapri where we were hoping to hike to the top of Monte Salaro, which is the highest point of the island. Unfortunately we started the hike and it seemed impossible with little signage so we turned around and took the chair lift (single person, old school ski-lift style). Working out just isn’t happening these days! :)

Our last night in Capri we spent watching the World Cup Semifinals match and appropriately eating pizza at a fun place on the cliff, Capri’s Ristorante….followed by Gelato! We were both really excited that Spain won….can’t wait to be in Barcelona when they play in the finals!!

Ciao Italia! Until next time!
