We took a ferry to the port and immediately boarded a boat for a tour of the island as well as a trip into the famous Grotta Azzurra, The Blue Grotto.
To get into the Blue Grotto, you transfer to little row boats and make your way into the smallest hole ever, seriously. The guy in charge of the boat tells you all to lay down and pulls the boat in from a chain on the wall of the cave. There was a swell on our way inside which lead to the man pressing himself onto the person on top... me. It's ok, he was cute. It was all worth it when we got inside and saw the most amazing sight. The grotto literally glowed blue. It was so beautiful! The men rowing the countless tiny boats on the inside started singing to us and we made our way out the same way we came in. what an adventure.
We got back on the bigger boat and started to make our way around the island. The hills, caves, lighthouses, and huge villas were all so pretty. It was paradise.
After our boat ride, we got some lunch, changed into our bathing suits and made our way to the free beach for some sun and sand! We climbed the jetty and found some flat spots to sunbathe and listen to Zac Brown Band, of course! The water was so absolutely freezing, but at least I can say I swam in the Bay of Naples, right?
After the beach, we got changed and headed back to Sorrento on the ferry. After the ferry we got a little lost on the way back to the hotel and walked up the side of a mountain... literally. Why is Italy so hilly/ volcanic? oi. We freshened up and put on our cute summer dresses (complete with authentic sunburn) for dinner and a show.
After that, we headed out for some gelato and went back to the hotel to relax and watch a movie.
Bliss.
