Capri (KA pre)
Yes, it is not pronounced like the pants. so that is the first thing you have to learn.
Yoe take a large boat over to Capri (jet boat). Nice island. One of the attractions is the Blue Grotto. So you get a ticket on a boat that takes you over there, and then you transfer to a little dingy, and buy another ticket. The little boat angles toward the smallopening in the grotto, and then the driver grabs a chain and pulls you in. The wter is a beautiful blue because the sun shines on the limestone bottom and reflects up so the water lights up. Very cool. Then you get on the boat that got you there and take a spin around the island. Lots of history (2,000+ years) and lots of good scenery.
We had lunch and ice cream (gelatto) and then came back to Sorrento in the afternoon. Tonight, we went down to the harbor and ate dinner on the water. Very nice.
