The most beautiful place I have ever been.
Getting there was crazy, we had to take:
-a metro (subway) to the train station
-then a train to naples (which broke down and we had to wait an hour in the heat for another, and we no idea what was going on cause we dont speak italian that well yet)
-then a taxi to the port
-a ferry to Capri (1 hr)
-then a shuttle to Anacapri (where our hotel was).
Overall it took us 6 hours on 5 modes of transportation, but it was so worth it.

Our Ferry to Capri

First night in Capri

Capri turned out to be the hamptons of Italy and was full of ritzy Italians in the main city. But we stayed on the top of the island in a little town called Anacapri. It was great cause there were basically no American tourists, only italians. This made communication hard on this island and we really had to piece together our Italian to get by, good practice!

The clubs were super pricey, about a 40 euro cover charge! We said no way and walked around (since we were underdressed compared to all the blinged out Italian women in stilettos) and found a little dive bar where we could hang out.
The next day we went to “Faro” one of the best beaches in Itlay. It had all these rocks that you can jump off of into the ocean, so much fun!!



Then we went to see "The Blue Grotto".

You have to take a gondola to get inside!

The opening to the Grotto, you have to lay down in the boat to get through!!
Inside the "Blue Grotto". Romans used to use the grotto as a swimming pool.
After that we got a boat to take around the entire island and he stopped and let us swim in a couple of spots, the best part of the trip by far!


The Green Grotto. We got to swim through this cave and he picked us up on the other side!
The White Grotto, this crazy cave where you could climb to the top.

Our boat went through this!

That night we went out and had a great dinner at a cute little ristorante
in Anacapri.

i had their famous Ravioli, so good.


And went to a club near
our hotel called “RED” pretty fun.
The next day we woke up bright and early, and made the trek all the way back home to Roma, in time for more great adventures!
More to come.
XOXO,
Taylor
