Today was our last full day in Italy, and we spent most of it on the water! We took a ferry to the Island of Capri. We wanted to see the Blue Grotto so we decided to take a boat tour around the island. We saw the Coral Grotto, White Grotto, Green Grotto and finally the Blue Grotto. They were all gorgeous.
The other grottos are visible from the boat, but the Blue Grotto is inside a cave. When we arrived, our boat stopped and several row boats came to bring us inside the cave. The opening is so small, you have to lie down in the boat so you don't hit your head. Quite an adventure! The Blue Grotto is visually stunning. The water in the cave is actually glowing an electric blue. Incredible!
We took the ferry back to Positano, did some shopping, and took our last terrifying bus ride along the Amalfi coast. Not sorry we don't have to do that again!
We have to leave EARLY tomorrow morning in order to catch our plane in Rome to Athens. The bus doesn't run as early as we need to leave, so our host ordered a taxi for us to take us to the train station in Sorrento. We have to take 2 trains to get to Rome, and then make our way to the airport to catch our flight. Hopefully everything is on time!
Ciao, Italy! We thank you for 15 amazing days!
