This morning we are going to do some laundry at the self service laundry. We will have breakfast while we wait for the laundry to be done. Because of all the stress of Capri yesterday and both of us having some leg pains we've decided to have a relax day.

Self service laundry. This place is right next to where we are going to have breakfast. Clear directions. Change machine doesn't work but sign says can get change at restaurant next door. I get 10€ worth of coins. We put our laundry in and it takes around 45 minutes at a cost of 8€ for the wash to be done. Detergent is included in the wash. Drying time 1.5€ per 15 minutes. It takes 2 or 3 times for our stuff to be dry at the lower temperature I've selected. The clothes come out smelling so nice! Another couple stops by with laundry. We start talking. They're from Clarence! We're practically neighbors back home! Small world.
Bar Della Valle. I have decided we'll have breakfast here while our laundry is getting done right next door. I order orange juice, a cappucchino, plain omelet, and a fruit bowl. Richard gets a coffee Americano, ham and cheese omelet. Finally eggs that taste like back home! Really good. Great service. Cost 36€/$38.77.

Shopping. After taking the clothes back to our hotel room we decide to walk down into main part of town. I want to pick up a few things. A tote bag, some limoncello maybe. It's busy. As we're walking I hear "hey-Colden" and it's our friends from the laundry! I shout back "hey-Clarence". They are shopping for a belt for him and a bathing suit for her. I find a tote bag made out of fabric with zipper top closure. Just what I wanted. In the same store I get a small bottle of limoncello and a small bottle of Positano labeled chocolate and limoncello liqueur. I stop by the pharmacy but it's closed. I thought I'd look for another gel pak for my leg as I seem to have lost mine.

Pool time. We spent time in the pool and relaxed on the loungers for around 2-3 hours.
Sensi Restaurant. Michelin restaurant. Our reservation is for 8:00 pm. We walk here from our hotel. The restaurant is located in the Hotel Residence which is right on the waterfront area. We're dressed up a bit. I had made this reservation in advance before arriving in Italy. I had requested a railing table and we are seated at a railing table with lovely views of the waterfront. Drinks-Richard gets an Old Fashion and I pick the drink of the day which is ?? All I know is that it was great! It's a set menu for dinner and both have to get the same option. We both pick the 4 course option. Cost 289.50€/$311.79. Our most expensive dinner in Italy but it was terrific. Variety of breads. Besides the 4 courses we get several chef's small bites. The 4 course option was grilled cod fish with Asetra caviar/citrus gel/carrot & green curry sauce, lemon grass risotto/scallops with "Amaro Roger"/juniper/tarragon/Amalfi lemon/katsuobushi, yellowtail tuna/puffed cereals/eggplant/tamarind sauce. For dessert you have a choice. Gianduja smoked chocolate/honey/rosemary/passion fruit/pollen or selection of local cheeses. You can also add a wine pairing of 4 to the meal for an extra 60€. The food was amazing and so beautifully plated. Each time the server brought a plate out he would explain everything on the plate. He'd even tell us the chef's preferred order in which to eat the items. Service was excellent. Wonderful time.
