Phil and I joined a large group of KOB folks for a day trip to Capri. We met in the lobby for a bus ride to the Sorrento seaport to catch the high speed ferry for the 45 minute ride to Marina Grande on Capri. There we disembarked and immediately got in line to board another boat to sail along the north side of the island to the entry of the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra). The sail to the Blue Grotto took about ten minutes, and we passed a number of caves in the r...

We started the day with an early breakfast buffet. They have a separate one set up just for the KOB folks. It has all the usual items, and I expect it to be the same every time.

We saw and heard some rain at the hotel, but it did not seem as dramatic as what must have happened far...
