The Grotta Azzurra

Arriving at the Blue Grotto it is amazing to see the very small entrance point which the boats will go through. We disembarked from our large boat into the row boat and off we went.

Bob was in the bow and I sat in the stern with an Italian woman doctor from Milan, who was visiting Capri for a medical conference and had escaped for the morning. The grotto had been closed the previous day due to high tides.

 The entry is timed and a chain is used to haul the boat in. We had to lie down to avoid smashing our heads. The colour is amazing! Perhaps the word for all these holiday experiences!
