    Ischia

    May 13, 2018 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Headed over to Ischia, the sister island of Capri. Much less crowded and bigger than Capri, we preferred it actually.
    Spent quite a few hours at Castello Aragonese, which was built on a rock off the mainland of Ischia in 474BC as a fortress. Has had many uses and upgrades since then. You'll see a photo of what looks like toilets, but when the nuns at the monastery died they would be propped up on these with a bucket underneath to decompose.
    Would have like to have gone to the thermal spas but ran out of time. Caught the last ferry home. Won the battle of the couple trying to push in front of the line (we won't mention their nationality). With a large backpack and elbows you can repel any attack.
    And once again we were eating after 9pm. This was our last night in Sorrento and we really enjoyed it and were sad to leave.
