Capri & Positano by Night

September 29 & 30:
Sorrento, Capri & Positano by Night:Wednesday we decided to go to Sorrento, later in the day so we could travel back to Positano at night and get some shots. Sorrento is good for cheap shopping, which was good for the ladies to get some retail release… I didn’t take photos here, because I have a pile from our last trip here 3 years ago. The night shots didn’t go as planned for me. The motion on the bus with the delay on the camera for night shots, didn’t work real well, you really need a tripod.
Thursday was the pick of the weather, and we were off to Isle of Capri. There were a few cruise ships in which made it chaos in Capri. One of the things we wanted to do was see the Blue Grotto, an amazing hole in the cliffs just big enough to get a 5 person boat (lying down through the hole) and then into this rock cave hollowed out, with rock floor, and the sun hitting the water, gives off this electric blue iridescence. Well the ferries to take you there were full, and there was up to a 2 hour wait to get in. But we saw a sign for a boat hire place, so we investigated.
Long story short, we hired a small speed boat, and off we went. I was the Captain of my boat. Scary seeing I have never driven one before, but the guy assured us it’s easy. We had a blast, we had it for 3 hours and went all around the island. My crew were not very helpful (threatened munity a few times), but we did get to see the Blue Grotto and we swam at the Green Grotto as well. (See Pics) An awesome day in all, beautiful weather, and we did and saw so much.
Last night we strolled along the cliffs, to have Pizza and a glass of wine at Fornillo, the next little bay around from Positano, and when we got there, the sun was setting, so lots of pics as the sky changed colours,it was beautiful, but not much action there, so we ot our pizzas and we ended back at Positano at the jetty, watching one of the local ladies catching squid and octopus, as we ate what would have to be the best Pizza ever….. Today (Friday) it’s relax, wash, and pack, as we leave Saturday morning, and head back to Rome for 3 days. Arrivederci!!
