Today's post is brought to you by the letter S

S is for Saturday, Sorrento and SUN!!!

Good morning sunshine! Let's hope you last all day long. I took the scenic route to Sorrento's port, which took me just under an hour to walk, along the mediterranean at times. It was beautiful and i arrived just in time to catch the 11:45 ferry to la Isola di Capri!

What a gorgeous day, and the view from the base of the island is magnificent, so many things to take in. The lemon groves, the villas, the funicular and windy streets. Unfortunately, the funicular that transports one up to the top of Capri does not operate in the off season, but that's ok, i was planning on walking up (and then rewarding myself with some much deserved pasta!!) It is a hike, but i recommend it (otherwise there is a bus that will take you for 1.40 euros). Once at the top, the "centro" is comprised of two restaurants (it is the off season) that are packed with tourists. I decide to take a look down some of the side streets in hopes of a smaller, quieter cafe in which to accept my prized pasta. I think i could have walked all the way to Anacapri (the other side of the island) and still not have found a one.

I opted to take the bus to Anacapri, in hopes of going to the famed Blue Grotto before attempting to find another place to eat my meal. Closed. High tide. Bright side: found a 3rd restaurant in which i was able to sit on the patio and partake in a caprese salad and pasta di caprese....when in Caprese, right?
