Day 24 (Sat)    We woke up a little later than expected and ate some ok breakfast and set out for Sorrento to catch a ferry to Capri.   We got to Sorrento and there was a parade for the up coming republic day, there were a bunch of little kids so the girls though it was very cute so watched for 10 minutes.  The street we took to get to the dock gave a great view of the harbor and the coast line from an elevated place got some good pictures.  The ferry took about 15 minutes to get to Capri; upon getting close to the island the large cliffs are magnificent looming over the arrival very cool.  We pulled into the dock and walked to the main road of the town.  The scene of the harbor and Main Street together is very cool.  The beaches were white stone and nice to look at not so nice for walking.  We left our stuff with the girls on the beach and bought tickets for a boat ride to the blue grotto and a ticket to take a row boat inside.  We waited in line on the boat to get into the grotto for about an hour but it was nice to relax on the boat.  It was kind of over cast when we entered the cavern through a small hole that everyone had to lay down on the floor of the boat while the guide pulled us through on the chain Capri

 .  After we got inside the grotto the sun came out a little and the cave exploded in a blue color from the sun light reflecting off the rocks, under the water.  Jerry took his camera and I left mine behind so you will have to wait until I get those from him before you can see those.  After we got back to the beach we laid out under the beautiful sun and played in the very blue clear water.  We also explored the rock outcrop that went out into the water and laid around on those as well.  It was a beautiful day in paradise, quite possibly the most beautiful place I have ever been, besides PA of course.  We headed back to Sorrento for dinner since things are a little less expensive there.  I got the fresh fish of the day which was red snapper with pasta, very good, very fresh.  We got back to the hostel and went to bed so we could get up early and make our way to Amalfi and Atrani.
