The Best Weekend of My Life.
No words can describe the events of this weekend adequately. It was one of those experiences that is so unreal no one can understand it but you. So I will simply try my best to highlight the best...
Capri. We took a private boat taxi from Massa Lubrense to Capri Island. The calm, clear Mediterranean Bay was beautiful, and the taxi driver took us through grottos, and past amazing sights of the island, then dropped us off at a fairly private non-touristy beach where we swam, and sat in the sun for most of the day. We went to the top of the island for one of the best meals I have ever had in my life. When the sun slipped behind the mountain, we were picked up by the taxi, and went back to our apartment to shower and get ready for dinner...
Pizza. The oldest pizzeria in Massa is owned by an amazing Italian man. He brought us all sorts of antipasto, pizza, and dessert drinks. We ate more than any of us thought possible. He took me to the kitchen, to see our pizzas as they were being made with his guidance and suggestion. We all felt like one of his family by the end. After dinner, we went to after dinner drinks on the beach, and sat in a swanky cabana style bar, recounting the day.
Vespas. The next morning, we mounted our rented vespas, and traversed the windy road along the Amalfi Coast. It was amazing to take in the breathtaking views of the cliffs and ocean along the way. The thrill of zipping around like an Italian on a scooter is something I will never forget. After stopping in Positano, as well as a few other vista points, we set up shop at the beach in Amalfi for a bit of relaxing before heading back. We finished the day with an amazing seafood dinner in Massa.
Solarium. Finally, today before heading back to Rome, we hit the water one last time in Sorrento. In the clear cool water we relaxed and enjoyed a day with a book in one hand and a beverage in the other. Our biggest decision we had to make is when to jump in the Mediterranean, or when to re-apply sun screen. It is a rough life.
