Today is our last full day together as a trio. Tomorrow we go our separate ways. I go to Stromboli and Robyn goes to London. I've said this before but time stands still when you're here it seems. Robyn and I were talking about how it feels like we've been gone for WEEKS and not just days. I'm sure it's just a combination of long busy days, breaking the routine, not sleeping much (in my case anyways) and time zone differences. I never really seem to accept that very well. I mentioned I was a little homesick and missed my friends and family the other night and when I was talking to my friend it felt like I hadn't talked to him in weeks and when I counted the days, it was like 5 days, if even that. It was Tuesday and I had last spoken to him on Thursday. What the heck? Why does it feel like we've been gone forever? At least Robyn feels the same way... and yet, it's almost over.
Being sick doesn't help but you make the best of it anyways. Mornings are slow but evenings are quiet because I've completely lost all ability to speak by then and we're both just exhausted! Today the plan was to go to the island of Capri. It was a late start but we still had plenty of time to enjoy the sunshine and the beach! It was nice to just lay there and relax for the day. The ferry is roughly 1hour each way but worth the trip!
It's more of a rock beach than a sand beach so shoes are necessary but we found ourselves some large rocks on the water to sprawl out on with very few people around. It was great! A little tricky to get into the water though as we needed to climb down the rocks to get in. Some people were diving in just down from us but I could see the rocks, I'm sure as Hell not diving in when I can see rocks! OUCH! So we would each take our turn, very ungracefully, climbing down and getting into the beautiful WARM blue water! I don't think I've ever swam in water that nice. Temperature was PERFECT! Not alot of waves, but enough to make it fun and I can FLOAT:) Always a fun time for me in salt water because I sink like a rock in fresh water. We each took a few slips off the rocks, not getting severely hurt but a few minor wounds to show off LOL. 
The Sun is HOT here and we did have sunscreen but clearly not enough. We are both roasted, fried and extra crispy. Pretty sure Robyn got hit with a bit of sun stroke too. Needless to say cold showers were on the agenda when we got home and although we were supposed to go out for dinner, neither of us had the energy or the hunger to drag ourselves out. Oh well, it was a beautiful day and we loved every minute of it. We had a really nice lunch at a cafe on Capri and the young owner was just a bucket of personality and charm and treated us like queens! Who doesn't like to be treated like gold? He serenaded us and joked around with us for almost an hour and was a real gem! He says that if we are looking for charming Italian men, we should look for them in the South. The men from the North are not so charming LOL. Thanks TIPS!
Arrividerci! For now anyways... xo
