Capri

Capri is like an escape. A little island of the coast of Napoli that you can reach by ferry all day long. I went in search of sun, food and relaxation. The further I go south the more I feel like I am on holiday instead of that I am travelling. Because I assure you they are two very different feelings.

I took time here to slow down, and to stop. I took in every smell and taste and really let myself relax. It is a beautiful little island. I took the cable car accross to the centre of the island and then walked all the way down to the beaches on the other side. Such a different sight again, to see pebbles on the beach! No sand. Blows the mind. All through Italy you pay to use the beaches. You can pay 20Euros or more just to get on to a beach, and then to find pebbles! However the view and the water and the sun are worth every last cent and more. I endured a whole day of such fabulous relaxation and had a traditional pizza for lunch. Napoli is where pizza was first made and there for I am on a strict pizza diet whilst I am here especially.

I leave for Sorrento next and I know it can only get better!

Roma

La Dolce Vita!

What an amazing city! Rome has everything all right there waiting for you to experience it. So much history and culture in an incredible city. I loved every moment here. I stayed for 3 days and I had the greatest pleasure of seeing the Pope on my first day there! How surreal! What a wonderful moment. Just sitting there with hundreds maybe thousands of priests at a blessing held at St Peters Basilica. Puts my entire life in perspective. I visited Fontana di Trevi which I must say was my favourite. It's a beautiful spot in the middle of some wonderful streets to sit and ponder where you are and how you got there. I hope to be back here one day and sit in the same spot to ponder all over again. I've added a few photos for you this time because it was such a visual experience for me I wanted to share that with you.
