Ischia Day Trip

The morning dawned cool and breezy with promising blue skies. Quite a chop on the water but as Ischia is served by the large hydrofoil, we went ahead with a day trip to Ischia. Nancy really wanted to visit Poseidon Thermal Spas (one of 22 on this island). A bit of a rush getting down to Sorrento Port, buying the ticket, finding out where to load and in an hour we disembarked. Not sure whether to spend $ on taxi vs bus but reports were the bus Line 2 with EVA would get us right there. Two buses loaded with people from the ferry left and then we waited 45 minutes for another to come. Met a pleasant English couple on the bus who said since they amalgamated bus lines with the mainland, service had declined and taxis were v expensive. The island is quite large, drier, with a lot of succulents compared to the mainland, towns were larger than I had thought and looked prosperous.Baca lagi
