Hello everyone!
(I am trying to be patient as we update our blog, however it it proving difficult since the keys on the keyboard are in different places, etc...hence a lot of backspacing and possible misspelled words- thanks!)
Day 1
Well, we are finally here. The flights were relatively uneventful, after the initial shock of how small and rather thin the seats seemed (Kristin - "What is this? The IKEA plane??"). Ted then discovered that we were on the new "Global Warming Friendly" Lufthansa plane, which just thrilled him to death. Okay, I'm all about saving the environment and what-not, but NOT at the expense of my comfort on an 8 hour flight. Moving on.
A double dose of Ambien later, we landed in Munich, passed out AGAIN, & boarded the plane to Naples. Surprisingly, our luggage was waiting for us as we exited the plane and we quickly made our way outside. We managed to avoid eye contact with anyone that was trying to swindle us our of our precious euros, and instantly found the bus to take us to the port. Ted bought the first pair of Giorgi-faux Armani sunglasses that he saw (5 euro!) and we poof! we were in Capri.
Capri is beautiful. That is the best way to describe it. We had a bird-free lunch outside (!) and then checked into our hotel, which is beautiful & surprisingly large for a European hotel. We spent the day exploring the marina then took the funicular up the hill to the main Capri town. It is the quintessential Italian town- small cobblestone streets with paths jutting off here and there, great bistros and amazing views. It rained for a bit, which didn't bother us as we ducked under an awning and had champagne (K) and beer (T). More walking...more walking...then a late dinner (you'd love it, Nen!!) that was delicious. We headed back down with the hopes of a gelatto under the stars but alas, everything was closed (Kristin was not pleased- "We have to have gelatto EVERY night!).
Now Sunday and we are heading to some really old villa (Ted's idea). Okay, okay...it is Tiberius Ceasar's villa from 27 AD, which seems like it will be cool...and after the 50 minute walk there (& back), it better be. Sorry, trying to remain positive....
Okay, that's it for now. I (Kristin) also just noticed that I jumped around from first to third person and back...sorry!
