Capri and the Blue Grotto

We took a ferry over to the Isle of Capri. Once there, we took another boat that takes us up the shoreline to the entrance to the Blue Grotto. It is a huge cavern, 60 m long, quite deep with a sand bottom, the light somehow enters, reflects off the sand bottom and creates a luminescent blue throughout. It was magical, except for the 1 hour plus wait sitting in the direct Mediterranean Sun on a stationary boat that is bobbing in some pretty good waves. Bigger boats take you to the site, then rowboats take 4 people at a time into the Grotto itself, but you have to wait your turn to get a rowboat. Poor Lisa, I was thinking that she was ready to swim back!

Almost ready to go into the Grotto.

The light is the entrance.

We checked out the beach in Capri.
