20 Euro's- flat rate.....

20 Europe's -flat rape? Ah...no....no flat rate! Same thing...Where Capri is most beautiful....they get you coming and going. Then again if they are safely transporting us in open aired taxi's....we would both agree that we happily will pay the 20 Euro flat rate. That was our taxi ride back from Capri port today. We arrived yesterday- beautiful day. We saw the port area and then were taken right to Caesar Augustus (hotel) in which we had lunch right away (an amazing three course lunch which we previously wrote about and took pictures of). I have Thanksgiving day recipes in mind! Then we relaxed by the pool....slept, swam, and took in the beautiful sun. The views are amazing....imagine water blending into sky (literally). If one has ever closed their eyes and envisioned heaven, I would wager to say that Capri's views rival the best of imaginations.  We went into town (left Anna Capri) for Capri town and enjoyed a light dinner, the shops, and wine in the piazza (next to the clock tower). 

We awoke early this morning for a boat tour. The boat was a beautiful little sail boat in which there was a bed, a bed with pillows! The boat consisted of our sailer and JUST Mike & I. We sailed and sailed past the grotto azzurra (too crowded and over a 40 minute wait), into the grotto verde,  through Romancing the Stones, all past the edgy cliffs and beautiful scenery that is Capri. We swam in the Cala di Mezzeo....a small inlet in which you could see all the way down into the clear water and we could not get over how warm the water was. Then we were on our way to La Fontina (a seaside restaurant/ beach club). After a delicious lunch (dad, I had spaghetti with clams -blanca sauce!), we took a water taxi that was 20 Euro flat rate to just the Marina Piccola. We then had another 20 Euro flat rate to the hotel. Mamma Mia!  

Back at the hotel we napped and spent the rest of the afternoon, pool side (wait until you see movie footage- unlike any pool you have ever seen!). We anxiously got ready knowing that we had table number 5 (cinque) at La Terrazza di Lucullo was reserved for us! This honeymoon ticket is amazing- the table was the only table located outside overlooking the sea and Marina Grande. Also, we were taken care of very well by Mimmo.... (he was fantastic!) and because Saint Maria's holiday there were fireworks all across the water and into the sky. What a beautiful sight! So far fireworks in Positano and Capri! We loved our dinner and went into our hotel bar afterwards where beautiful piano music played and enjoyed a cocktail. Going to get a good nights sleep as we are off to Tuscany tomorrow. We have decided that 6 months of the year should be spent in Italy..... amazing people,delicious food...beyond perfect honeymoon. We feel so lucky!
