Wanderlust Wednesday

One year ago I visited my favorite place in the world to date: Capri. There truly is something for everybody on the island, just off the coast of Naples. Luxury to bed and breakfast lodging, relaxing on the beach, high end shopping, amazing seafood, and even a bustling night life. Sean and I went to attend a wedding, but we had plenty of time to experience everything Capri has to offer. If I had to give one piece of advice it would be to all women: leave your heels at home-the cobblestone streets will kill you! I did wear heels a few of the nights but carried sandals in a stylish little sack. I cannot wait for my next trip to Capri!!

What we did during the day: Rented boats for an excursion all around the island, lounged after trekking our way to the Fontelina Beach Club, ate the freshest of the fresh at Fontelina Restaurant

What we did at night: Enjoyed some live music at Anema E Core, dined at the stunning STUNNING Da Paolino Lemon Trees Restaurant, enjoyed cocktails at Jacky, our hotel bar (term is used very loosely in this context), danced until an undisclosed hour at Bye Bye baby, attended a wedding at the breathtaking Il Riccio of the Capri Palace

Where we stayed: Capri Tiberio Palace. I believe I read the boutique hotel's style as "Mod Mediterranean" in a review and I just loved how the decor was not too beachy but rather chic.

How we got there: Chicago (ORD) flight -> Rome train -> Naples Ferry -> Capri

Getting around: lots of walking as many of the roads are too narrow and steep for cabs, cabs for main roads, cable car from the base of the island to the top
