Hello Fashionistas,
After our wonderfully evocative dinner in Positano, we decided to head off to Capri the next day - as one does, for a spot of sight seeing. The island is about 40 mins by ferry off the mainland and is the holiday spot for the Italian rich and famous......the Victorian equivalent if you will, is Portsea whilst Positano is the Lorne or Sorrento equivalent.
The main port is just that. You catch a cable car up the island to where the bold and the beautiful hang out. And the place just oooooozes money. There is designer shop after designer shop and bling like you have never seen. It's vile! The bling that is..... The setting is glorious. All these gorgeous quaint little shops stuffed with merchandise that I would have to hock my body seven lifetimes over - assuming any takers, before I could afford a stray earring!
The villas are very chi chi and unusually for the Italians, all have lovely gardens as part of their design. What we loved most though was how dressed up everyone was. Here we were surrounded by D&G, Mui Mui, Massimo, Roberto Cavelli, Salvatore Ferrigamo et al and here we were in our Katamandu gear and Merrils. Sorry, point of correction. I had that gear on and Madam, who had been perplexed about what one wears to Capri, had settled on a navy blue linen number with matching shoes so she at least was passable. Me not so much!
An interesting place and very very beautiful but not somewhere you would dig in for any time. We headed "home" and laid on again, what they laughingly call a beach here. Back home, showered and ready to dine so will say ........
Bona Sera and chat soon
