Porto d'Ischia to Baia and Porto Miseno

We woke up to a lovely morning and rowed ashore before 0800 as our stove gas had expired last night and I needed my cappuccino! Unlike other places, stores didn't open until 0900-they must be on island time! We then motored to Baia (mainland) where we stopped for diesel. A power boat about 55ft. came in behind us to fill-up. It took over an hour, 2200 litres and his bill was €6000! 🤯 We motored down the bay to check out an anchorage and decided it was too industrial so turned around. The wind had come up and Bob decided he didn't like the way the dinghy engine was bouncing so, while we we were motoring, he climbed into the dinghy, removed the engine and climbed back onto our boat! Maybe he should try out for Cirque de Soleil! We ended up at Porto Miseno, a little harbour with beautiful rock formations and lovely hotels on top of cliffs above us. We were entertained with a live band playing good music and we had front row seats for fireworks set off about 2 boat lengths away! A beautiful night under a crescent moon, with familiar melodies and gorgeous fireworks. Perfect.Read more
