As part of our wonderful visit to Capri, an island off the coast of Itay, we made the obligatory trip to the Blue Grotto. To get there, we took an hour long boat tour of the island (best 12 euros I've spent so far) and hired a native Caprisian with a rowboat to take us into the grotto.
We laid on the floor because the entrance is only tall enough for a small boat to enter and when we sat up we were awestruck. The water was suddenly bright blue due to the refracted underwater sunlight and every noise echoed off the cave walls. Our guide broke into a gloriously Italian melody, quickly joined by the other guides, only too happy to please the jaw dropped tourists.
A once in a lifetime experience. A perfect day.
