Isle of Capri - Italy

We traveled by boat from the Port of Naples for a visit to the Isle of Capri where we booked a boat tour around the island.  We stopped at many beautiful grottos along the way.  Most dramatic was the Blue Grotto.Cyd took a dingy inside the grotto and took some pictures. The water is the most beautiful blue which is the result of the sunlight being reflected off the limestone in the grotto. Rode an inclined railway up the side of the mountain to reach the city center of Capri.  Had lunch and a self-guided walking tour of the city. Left Capri at 4:30 pm to return to the mainland - Port of Naples.
