Capri two litre

FTSE Prop Trader friend of mine who I was the misnomer of best man for, recently celebrated his wedding anniversary with his wife, here in Capri, Italy, at the Capri Palace Hotel:

  • He Paid £1000 per night for a sea view = Broom cupboard with a view of some rocks near the sea covered in albatross crap..
  • Ordered drinks by the pool first day, one peroni and one pina colada = Paid the guy and then worked out that the beer was £18 and the Pina Colada £30
  • Next morning at breakfast he is sat on the table adjacent to Michael Schumacher, a very tanned midget by all accounts, who is moaning to an American colleague that his room is too small and the drinks are very expensive……he is worth about £300 million after being F1 word champ 7 times - small clue….This is a very expensive Hotel
  • The pool area is basically crowded with 60 year old men with micro briefs and near skin cancer tans laying on sunbeds with their 20 year old nubile mistresses who would be nearly drowned by their jewelery weight, apparently that’s the only good thing about the place (from my friends point of view).
  • Thus a very beautiful island resort off the coast of Italy where you need a minimum income of £300 million to not feel like you are delboy from peckham.

Morale of the story? Stick to Capri in terms of classic fords not weekend breaks. See below
