1922 Europe: Blue Grotto

I previously posted the ladies' trip from Naples to the Blue Grotto and Capri. I had not yet scanned the postcard set from Capri, so here is the lovely Blue Grotto:

1922 Postcard: La Grotto Azzurra
My grandma's notes from July 11, 1922:
"We stopped first at Sorrento, then went to the Blue Grotto - that is a beautiful little grotto near Capri. We got off the boat here and got into little rowboats, in which we went into the grotto. It is like a large cave. We had to lie down in the boat when we went in the opening (because it) is so low.  Inside the entire cave is the loveliest blue I ever saw.  We landed at Capri a little after 12:00 (Noon) and had lunch at once at a little eating place looking out over the bay. It is lovely there. Our guide gave us the best of service and saw to it that we were well taken care of.”
