A week in Ischia

So....we're at the train station in Napoli waiting on our train for Viareggio. We've just spent a grrreat week at the B&B, Villa Ischitana. Our hosts, Stani and Philomonea were sweet and happy, the beach was beautiful, and the food delicious. Our days started with a breakfast of croissants, nutella, coffee, yogurt, and orange juice-or the Italian equivalent of Tang. The scooter was lots of fun and allowed us to explore all parts of the island. I know you might think something could happen like Brian almost running us into a wall, accidently popping a wheelie, and landing while simulaneously honking the horn, but that never happened. We found a beach that was not crowded and had two great ristorante/pizzerias nearby. Last night, we stumbled upon a baia which are these naturally hot thermal baths right on the edge of the ocean. It was so beautiful, late at night, stars out, and tucked in a cove with cliffs all around. We wish we had found it earlier in the week....but it's hardly anything to complain about. The pictures describe Ischia better than words so I'll leave the rest to that (check them out on Picasa-click Photos above). We're looking forward to heading back to Viareggio and seeing what's in store for us there...
