Italy Part 3: Capri

Ah...Capri....!!  What a beautiful and completely unique island!  It is absolutely beautiful and felt like straight out of a movie.  It also helped that this was the island of the "rich and famous"- a lot of very wealthy and famous people like to vacation here and it was quite evident by the level of shopping, fashion and food!  We spend a day at a private beach club where Dior had their fashion shoot the week before (!).  I of course recognized no one, but you can tell these were people of fame and fortune!  (so naturally I felt right at home....)

What they don't tell you is that Capri is a giant rock so it's EXTREMELY hilly.  The short walk from the piazza to our hotel was a major leg workout.  (It helped offset the gelato, pasta and limencello!) They don't have roads, just small walkways so everything is pedestrian based.  Sooooo many adorable doors and windows...not enough time to truly capture all of it!   

We were also able to get a private boat tour around the island see the famous green grotto and blue grotto.  Absolutely amazing!

Greece Vacation Series- Part 2: Mykonos

Our first island stop was Mykonos and it did not disappoint!  Our hotel was gorgeous and you walked right out onto the beach.  The weather was perfect and the white buildings were breathtaking.  By law they actually have to paint their buildings white once a year! Dinner at a garden terrace restaurant!

The beach view from our hotel We took a cooking class as Mykonian Spiti and Teta gave as an amazing and personal cooking class where we learned about Greek culture and food- it was a highlight for all of us! (and the best food by far!) Sunset by the water and the windmills- so beautiful!Mykonos is famous for it's nightlife, so we made some friends and participated in a little night life fun!
