It's a rainy day in Sorrento. We are off the the Island of Capri where we will hop on to a ferry that will take us to our boat. I plan on jumping off of that boat into the Mediterranean Sea. I am a little scared. But, you know what they say..."When in Rome." Well, at least..."When in Capri." I hope a shark doesn't eat me!
September 20, 2011 Day 3 in Isola Di Capri, Italia.
The photo above was taken while we were touring the Island of Capri. I liked the little rainbow floating on the water.
Faraglioni is the name for three rock stacks located off the Island of Capri in the Bay of Naples. The stacks have been given their own names: Stella, Mezzo and Scopolo. The photo above is near where I braved the blue waters and went swimming.
I just returned to my hotel room from an afternoon in Capri. I took a boat ride around Salto di Tiberio, Grotta Bianca, Arco Naturale and went swimming near Faraglioni. Due to the recent rain storms the water was a bit choppy. It was was a beautiful blue color and very inviting. So, I decided to swim. The water was extremely salty. I swam for about 2 minutes and was enjoying myself. But, for some reason I started to panic. I felt as if the sea was pulling me under and the boat seemed to be drifting farther and farther away. I started to yell for help and no one heard me the first few times. But, then a woman came to my rescue and pulled me to the boat. Thank you wherever you are!
After my near drowning experience, Kelly and I had lunch and walked around Capri and made pictures.
We found an amazing cafe where we sipped caffe lattes and I found my second cannoli. If that cafe latte was a man, I would marry it, have many of it's children and promise to do the dishes everyday. It was the most beautiful cafe latte that I have ever tasted. It was so pretty. Following the sweetest drink on Earth, I starred at the sea for awhile.
We took the ferry back to Sorrento and ate Bruschetta for dinner. Bruschetta is an antipasto that dates back to the 15th century. It consists of roasted bread rubbed with garlic and topped with olive oil. Variations may include toppings of red peppers, tomato, vegetables, beans or cheese.
