so much for eschewing amalfi! as it turns out, the mister chose to spend a night at the grand dame on the coast and we were blown away by the incredible service and attention to detail. it's rumoured to be where brangelina first met while filming mister & mrs smith, or so the easyjet inflight mag alleged! but when we were there, we'd yet to find out this fascinating bit of trivia. lovely lovely hotel though and the staff were all top notch. they were ever so kind as to double upgrade us and very classy to comp a bottle of extra dry spumante (just as i like it!).
also, i suppose i feel a little sappy about the hotel because it's where we received some very good news. i like how the mister's so cool - could've gone to any of the many m*starred places to celebrate but that's not us. instead, he picked a hole in the wall pizza place (donna stella) in amalfi and we took a leisurely stroll to treat ourselves to some pretty darn amazing EUR10 pizza.
rain rain go away! thankful for largely good weather but boy did it rain that evening we first arrived.
all sunshine and blue skies the next morning though. phew! took some photos before breakfast on the cantilevered terrace.
can't get over what an indulgence slow breakfasts are, and we stayed out as long as we could before heading to the ferry. because, finally, after 5 days of admiring capri from a distance, we were finally going back.
