CAPRI.... Blue Grotto, vistas and SHOPPING for custom made sandals

We took the ferry to Capri today.  It takes roughly 50 minutes to arrive to the island of the rich and famous.  This is where we caught another boat to the Blue Grotto.  First you pay 32
Euro round trip  per couple to take the ferry to Capri, then you pay 26 Euro for a boat ride to the Blue Grotto,then you pay another 26 euro to get in a row boat to be taken into the Blue Grotto by row boat and then the row boat guy tells you to tip him 5 euro a person if he does a good job.  Holy crap, but you are here and you must do it so you can brag to everyone you know you've been in the BlueGrotto.

So here are my hilarious photos of the Blue Grotto and maybe some video too!!












Ok, now that that's all done it was time to tour around the island.  We hired a convertable car and driver for really 6 but he fit 7 in and took us to Ani Capri where part of the group went and road a chair lift to the top of the mountain.  See that road up there on the mountain...well we drove that.  I thought I was going to pee my pants.  Especially when he had to stop to allow another bus to go by us.

Now while everyone else was going up the chair life I was having custom made sandals made for me by this famous guy.  Hear Jackie O use to wear his sandles.  Oh that makes me special

Yep...that's my sandals he'smaking there..Don't know why this is typing red and underlines.
We  headed to the other side of the island where the rich and famous were hanging in their boats for the day.
The famous clocktower in Capri.


 I hear La Perla panties are the bomb...unfortunately I didn't find out. 
 The view when you get off the finicular, to the upper part of town.


Now this is the way to travel in Capri..unfortunatly the guy had a tude.
