Ischia, Italy 2007

We had planned to stay in Naples, but last minute we changed our plans and headed to the tiny island of Ischia (sister island of Capri).
After running across 6 lanes of traffic to get to the harbor, we caught the last ferry from Naples after midnight. This was a terrible idea. We arrived on the island and were lost and wandering for hours without any hope or English signs. When we finally decided to go back to a bank we had seen near the harbor with a street light to sleep under, we finally found our hotel! After the worst night of my entire life, we woke to the warm sun and friendly sounds of this Mediterranean paradise. We explored the island, found Sorgetto hot springs, visited a 'spa' and enjoyed the beaches. We ate at markets and met some friends. The towns have so much local charm. I would go back in a heartbeat...during the day:).
