The Island of Ischia

Ischia is the Hope Town of Napoli. The island is surrounded by boats, beautiful beaches, bars, restaurants, stores with great sales, and an Island of Ischia film festival (Cleopatra and the Talented Mr. Ripley, among many others, were filmed here). Here I am on the beach, kicking myself for not having brought my bathing suit for the day. The water's perfect, and the sun was beating down past 7PM.

PS. Be careful, though. This evening, I spoke to some students who spent the night in Capri. The only room in the inn, according to the hotel manager, cost 400 Euros. The students, with no other options, paid.
