Capri is unreal!

Capri was by far my favorite thing we did on this trip.  For months I've been going to cities, museums, churches, and castles.  It was so nice to be in a sort of rustic and relaxing island.  Really proves the difference between northern and southern Italy.  We started by taking a 40 minute ferry from nasty naples to Capri's Marina Grande.
After having some lunch we took a 2 hour boat tour of the islands exterior.  It was amazing.

The water is actually that color, no joke!



We went into this bay that was full of Jelly Fish!






One stop on the tour is the Blue Grotto.  The little hole in the rock behind the boats on the right is the entrance.  We had to get out of our big boat and jump into a little tiny one to enter.  Brian had to do some serious ducking to get in with out hitting his head.
Tiny boat.
The light is the opening.
The inside glows blue!  I will have a video at the end of this entry.




After our tour we took the Funicular from the marina to the city of Capri.  We bought matching Ray Bay sunglasses, which are a big deal in Italy, and had a snack.





This is what a Funicular looks like from the inside.  Its a train that goes up and down the side of the island.
