A second day in Ischia




May 1, 2008

Toured Ischia today…hired a car and driver to show us the island….truly an incredible place…there are 6 villages on this island, which is the size of Nantucket. 60,000 people live year round, with over 6 million visitors per year….see, Nantucket could be worse!!
We had lunch in San Angelo, a beautiful small peninsula which is pictured here. More wine and food….we will have to diet for months after this trip!! Ischia is a huge tourist island, but the charm and warmth have not been lost. Tonight we had fresh local fish, oysters, mussels, shrimp…and of course Grappa!! Tomorrow we are off to Capri…it is only 18 miles away, I think we might make it by mid afternoon…..
