Blogger blows, so the pics are in reverse order......
On our way home, the view from Ischia harbour.

Funky round house on the island
Just a little vinyard on the side of the road.
This kind old man reminded me of my zio Gianni. He let us take a short cut through some private property which led to the lovely vista above.
At a hotel/resto perched on a cliff by the sea with thermal swimming pools.
A churh in Panza. I loved this ball of a chandelier
Ischia was the first major colonie of the Greeks off the Italian mainland. They abandoned it soon after due to the violence of the volcano to which the island owes its existance and the abundance of thermal springs (we're told that 8/10 wells dug end up being thermal). They moved across to strait to Cuma, a stone's throw from where we live (and Vesuvius...).
The small path back up to our hotel from the beach.
The beach is composed more of a fine volcanic gravel than sand. The dark colour makes sure it burns your feet nicely. Bean bargained this shirt and the bracelet down to 5 Euro each from 2 poor guys.
People would run in and out of the water just to cool off for a second. Pussies, it's nothing compared to the Bruce in October! Pity I couldn't go fresca fresc to enjoy the cool water on all my soft places.
The two most beautiful things I saw on the island.
Thermal pool at our hotel (average temperature, 35-38 C).
The island of Procida (between Ischia and the mainland). It's supposed to be the most densely populated place in Europe. We're heading there soon after we get out bikes, it's supposed to be mostly flat....

Getting lose never looked so good.

Yes, I am staring at honey.
