Capri

Capri is a beautiful island about a 30 minute boat ride from Sorrento Peninsula.  It's known as a place for the rich and famous.  It's dotted with fantastic houses hanging over the cliffs. This is a photo of the famous rocks jutting out of the sea at Capri.
 

The famous Arch of Love of Capri.  It is said that if you kiss your loved one while going through the arch that your love will last a life time.  However, our tour guide said she did it with her husband and they are now divorced so that is just an Italian myth.  Rick and I kissed just in case it's real.

The public beaches on Capri are smooth stones and gravel.  Not easy to walk on and even less comfortable to lay on and get some rays.  Nevertheless, people laid side by side like tanned fat seals crowding the beach.  Rick took a nice swim in the Mediterranean and said it was cool but tolerable.  He lasted about two minutes in the water before getting back on board the boat.

Capri is known for it's caves and grottos.  One of the most famous is the Blue Grotto.  You can only enter by row boats manned by experienced sailors.  You must laydown in the row boat while the sailor pulls you in and out of grotto by a cable.  You can only enter when the tide isn't too high.  When we were there, the tide was nearly too high as there is little room between the water, the cave walls and the ceiling.
