Day Twenty-Six: Capri Island

Today was a great day! And it started nice with the fact we didn't have to be on the couch at all. We start with an actually amazing hostel breakfast. It had Sunnyside up eggs and sausage!! I would talk about how the other places breakfast have been shit but we honestly haven't been eating them because we have to run to the couch ahaha. Then we took a ferry out to Capri Island. And holy, it was a rough ride. Today was not the nicest of weather, and the water was pretty rough. On the way there were a lot of sick people, that's for sure. There were also people like an old guy to our left who was having the time of his life. He would jump up to ride all the waves. So we decided to do the same; of course, the one wave we did was the biggest one, and it slammed us on our ass. It hurt way more than I was ready for ahah. Unfortunately, on the way to the island, Bec let us know that our boat tour around the island was canceled because of the weather... I wanted to go swimming!! So we simply started our island adventure with a nice cappuccino and decided to bring along 5 other people for a hit around the top of the island. The hike I found on alltrails only had a 150m altitude gain, so everyone agreed to it without realizing that the hike started at the top already. So we had to walk up lots of stairs and narrow alleyways. Some of them really did not like that😂 the hike did get to start with a nice viewpoint, which was a relaxing break before the hike for everyone. It was super cool walking around because the trail was just way up on the cliffside of the island. We kept seeing geckos, and Ethan would always try to catch them, but they were just way too fast. Then, after way too many stairs, even I was tired, but we had some out of shape people with us, and it destroyed them ahah. We found this random cave, was crazy big or anything, but it was a nice surprise. Then, after MORE STAIRS, we finally reached the natural arch. Which was beautiful, but really, it is just a big rock. I think it's everything around it that made it so nice. There was even a tall rock off to the side that Ethan and I climbed, great view from there. And we got to do the titanic pose! There was this bar right on the path, too, and we wanted a drink so bad, but it was closed... so we finished the hike and had an expensive lunch of a delicious carbonara and white wine. It had a beautiful view but it was so windy! And of course, on the walk back, my nose and cough got worse. But we took the ferry back, almost didn't make it since the ferry docked in a port different than the ticket, but we all got back safe and sound for a dinner in the town. I got a pizza and split a bottle of wine with the fellas. I couldn't even finish the pizza, but it felt very authentic. We didn't really know how little time we had and could get our bill in time, so we missed the bus back. But we didn't really care. It was only a 45-minute walk, and it's supposed to be an experience. On the way, we even decided to get 4 bottles of wine, a bottle for each of us. Because that's a great idea, right? We even finished them all by the time we got to the hostel... you could say I was out of it. We tried to play some games outside with the group, but I just could not get it. So, after having a cigar with one of my new buddies, I went upstairs to pass out. Great night, I just don't remember all of it.Read more
