Back in Capri

Back in Capri and it is just as beautiful as I remember. Not changed at all. Actually, not changed much. Some things are still different. Less people in restaurants - economic slowdown has had its say, but not to big extent. La Piazzetta, the main square, is still full of people on Saturday night - elegant couples, even children styled up to the toes. Limoncello glasses, looks, conversations, warm summer wind, Capri night....We are staying with my friend again at hotel Weber Ambassador, close to Marina Piccola beach. Lovely beach hotel with balconies overlooking the sea and the famous Faraglioni rocks..A little mix-up with rooms on our arrival, but luckily it was solved quickly....We arrived on the 4th of July, just in time to admire the incredibly beautiful fireworks over the sea in the honor of American Independence Day. After two flights and countless other means of transport, had hoped to have a little sleep, but don't have any regrets - golden, pink, blue etc lights over the sea were breathtakingly beautiful. Had a good dinner in Capri center at the restaurant called Longano. The food is excellent, especially frutti di mare, seafood..My personal favorite - risotto alla pescatora - was still there and tasted just as good :) It is a simple place with very quick service, one of the lowest prices in Capri and as I already told, with a very good food. Not a cosy restaurant where you would sit for hours, but nice little trattoria to have a nice meal. The other night we went to another restaurant, Da Gemma, which again offered an excellent selection of seafood and - which is a rare practice in Capri - buffet, from where you could choose various seafood and oven-cooked local specialities according to your own taste. Lovely family-owned restaurant with a beautiful seaview. One of the best in the island. But at the moment it is dinner time in Capri. So in a minute I will dress up and we are going with my friend again to La Piazzetta to enjoy our evening....More news will be coming shortly :)
