Capri circuit & the Blue Grotto

The Blue Grotto, a scam of international proportions. For about $15, you get an uncomfortable berth sitting on the floor of a rowboat, and are pulled into the cavern on a chain, circulate with a lot of other boats blocking your view, then pulled out again, all in about 2 minutes total, with your rower angling for a tip from the minute you set foot in the boat. Bah!
