15 September 2012: Woke up early for our trip to Capri! I bought this tour via Viator.com. Bus from Rome took 3 hours and then we boarded a medium-sized ship at Napoli Beverello to Capri. Capri was SO BeAuTiFuL. The water was clear blue and the view of houses build on the hill looked like Greece to me. The road to Anacapri, the top part of the island was very very narrow, it was quite a scary bus-ride climbing up. People here mostly walk or ride a bicycle/motorcycle. Lunch was provided and it was quite filling. A lot of handmade stuff on sale but just a bit too pricey for me. The ladies handmade sandals were quite pretty though, cost at least 60 euros per pair. The nicer once cost around 130-160 euros or so. If they were cheaper, I might have bought one pair for myself.
Hubby and abg went up this hanging-cable-chair but mummy and I stayed down with Batrisyia. They said the view up there was postcard worthy, obviously! Going back, we missed our boat back to Napoli by 2 minutes!!! Oh Italy. Why you always do that to us.
16 September 2012: We had a tight schedule to walk around Rome this day because we had a flight to catch at 5:50pm. Most important place to go to was the Vatican City because hubby specifically requested it and that was why we went to Rome in the first place. He really wanted to go visit the smallest country in the world. Since it was a Sunday, there was a mass going on that time but tourist were still allowed to come in. Mummy waited outside since she was already tired from all the walking we had done. Had a drink at cafe by the roadside before heading to Castel Sant'angelo and Fontana di Neptuno, Piazza Navona (appeared in one of Angels and Demons scenes). Took a cab to Colleseum and rushed back to our Hotel to check-out.
17 September 2012: This is a historical date because exactly 10 years ago, Hazmi and I started dating. And we were celebrating our 10 years of togetherness in London! We stayed in Tune Hotel, Kings Cross on the last day. At this moment, there are actually 4 Tune Hotels in London alone! Must be really good business over there. It cost us around 50pounds per room so around 100+pounds that night. The last day was free and easy. I wanted to leave around 9am+ but turned out I woke up late. Haha. Checked out around 10.30am, left our luggages there. Went to Hard Rock London and we were done. Mom wanted to do some last minute shopping and I BEGGED my brother to take her while we waited at Hyde Park. It was a chill afternoon and it was really relaxing and fun. After that, we had our late lunch cum belated birthday celebration for abang at a briyani shop in King's Cross. Picked up our bags, went to Paddington Station, where abang took his train to Bristol and we took our train to Heathrow.
All-in-all, it was a good trip. We settled abang down and had a good, fun break, albeit a tiring one that I felt like I needed another break from this break! Hehe. I was so thankful I bought a new Sony camera in time for this trip. The Olympus camera I bought last year was so bluergh, wasted my money only. Till next year then! Abang, hope you study well and take full advantage of this opportunity.
