Capri

Today started with a bit of a hate for positano, but finished with a love. Let me explain!

We walked down from our bed and breakfast into town.  This was no easy task, as it was over 1600 steps and and over 600 meter drop in elevation. It also is a bit if an adventure just trying to figure out where to go, but we made it.  Our goal today was to rent a two person kayak and head out to the island of Capri.  This goal however, was just not possible. All if the rental agencies here on the beach would only rent singles or paddleboarding and they all said two person ones don't exist in the area.  We were pretty bummed, but decided to head over to Capri by boat and then hopefully find a kayak or canoe there!  We paid our ridiculous fee to take the ferry over, and as soon as we paid what rolled in, but a two person kayak. Of course by this point it was too late.

While heading out to Capri, we realized it wasn't the island we thought it was and was actually much further (if we had the kayaks we wouldn't of made it there).  And while arriving at Capri we were a but horrified to see the herds and swarms of people. We got off the boat and it was time for a plan.  Immediately we were approached and offered boat rentals with a guide.  We went for it after a bit of bartering and we're happy we did.  We got a 2 hour private guided trip around the whole island with stops in a green grotto time swim!  The water was so warm, and the color if the water was just awesome.  Mike stopped for a cliff jump, and our guide pointed out the sites and drove us right into some awesome caves.  There is some serious real estate there... Never have we seen houses like that before. Our guide told us about last year bill Gates visiting on his 130 meter yacht! Of course right?

We were really glad we did the trip, though we didn't get to do the blue grotto Kelly!!  (It's a cash cow and surely the back packers did it different...13€ each and transfer to a row boat to go in for one minute )

We headed back into positano and mike tried stand up paddle boarding!  He said it was harder than he thought but would definitely do it again!  We were feeling a bit lazy after lounging on boats since we thought we  should climb back up the steps!  It was actually a great walk up, aside from getting a bit lost.

Dinner tonight was absolute perfection.  It was all locally grown fruits and veggies, literally grown in the back yard, and can you ever taste the difference!  The meal was definitely one of the best meals either of us had in our lives.  The view is stunning down to the sea, the temperature was perfect, and the company fantastic! We even got to watch a lightning show which was neat!

Tomorrow its off to wine country and away from the very busy parts!
