Edit: lol yeah, I deserve this, I teed it up rather magnificently.

    The Blue Grotto in Capri, or maybe some of the less famous grottos on the Mediterranean Coast. There is something so terrifying about being surrounded by rock formations, I’m not typically a claustrophobic person, but felt a visceral fear of being under that much rock with waves moving in and out of the cave. And yet the grotto is gorgeous because of the reflection of the light. The endless dark of the cave is lit by the most brilliant blue of the water.

    I like to imagine the person who first discovers something like that, having to overcome the fear of the unknown and be rewarded with the best mother nature has to offer.

      I’ve been in one, too. I’m not fond of tight spaces either, but that didn’t seem bad. I really dislike boats and water, too, but it was still nice. Beautiful places.
