Tuesday 12 April

Sorry about the missing days, but had trouble with connections. Will add photos as we go.... Following a night in Sorrento in a really nice hotel, we were picked up and takento an inlaid woodworks factory which was interesting. Our tour guide Marco was quite hilarious and typical Italian charmer. After the woodwork factory we headed for the ferry to take us to the island of Capri. We were told to remain in the front of the ferry, so that we could get off the boat first and make for the smaller boats to carry us to the Blue Grotto, which is a holein the rocks, which the ocean flowsinto and the smaller boats 'slide' into that aperture. I had my doubts and claustrophobia had me thinkingof 'no entry for me'. Anyway decided to go as I had come that far - transfered into tiny row boat (5 people) and we had to lie down, in order to pass through the holein the rock........ we made it and observed a beautiful hue of blue water. This pool is 20mtr deep x 50mtrs long. Returned to larger boat with 40 other japs & headed for Capri.
