Capri Port

This morning we went to Capri on a tour boat. Cheryl was obviously not thrilled. Michelle suggested last night that we go do the blue grotto. We got to the grotto sight where Cheryl chickeed out, so Michelle and I went with another Aussie girl. To get into the grotto you have to get into a tiny row boat where you get to the entrance of the cave and have to lay down. Inside is pitch black, except at the entrance to the cave where the sunglight and the colour of the water turn the cave an errie blue. We were in there no more than three minutes, but it was worth it. The boat took us all the way around the island where we saw the green grotto, Sophia Lauren and Georgio Armani's houses, the arch of love and some amazing caves. When we arrived back at the port we walked to the touristy lookout point. Took the boat back to Sorrento and had a siesta.
