More about Ischia

Erik drove us all down to the docks in Naples, a three hour drive out of the city of Rome. We drove the car onto the car ferry for the short 2 hour ferry trip to the island. It was a beautiful day. The fun started when we had to drive to our hotel, the Europa. The roads are very narrow and they wind around the towns. Traffic is still two way, but every car must be prepared to meet a tour bus coming their way. Some streets are one way for part of the day, then become one way, the other way, for another part of the day. Interesting driving. Erik did a great job.
We enjoyed our hotel which was family oriented. There was a good breakfast every morning, and we could go out on the roof terrace for snacks and to give Ocia a chance to run around in the evening. Ischia is known for it's mud baths. Poseidon is the town with the beach a mud baths. Our hotel had a mineral water pool where the water was changed daily, and the pool scrubbed. Unfortunately, we didn't take the time to use the pools, but next time will be prepared to do so.
We had a really great meal at the restaurant on the point between the island and the monastery. I had fresh seabass that was shown to me before they killed and grilled it.
