Finally we arrived at the Blue Grotto--a place unlike anywhere I've ever seen. Our gondolier was singing and the acoustics were beautiful. Inside the Grotto Azzuro (as it's known in Capri), we saw a small landing area at the edge of what looked like a cave. This was apparently the private entrance of Tiberius, whose castle sits on the cliff about 400 yards directly above us. Fascinating, si? Aside from visiting the Grotto, the boat ride was fab because we saw all kinds of lidos and restaurants built right into the rock above the water. There are also some incredibly constructed houses along the cliffs that blend right into the rock and flowers. Our 'captain' also stopped the boat for us a few times to take a dip in the water, however, I stayed closer to the boat than Marie did (and she was chided by the captain), because we were in very deep water and Marie and Todd forced me to watch too many gruesome scenes from Jaws when I was merely a toddler.
