Ischia and Capri
So my weekend started kind of bad but it ended up being really great. We weren't supposed to get on a train to go to Naples to catch a boat to Ischia until Friday morning but on Thursday evening, we found out that Italy's transportation industry was going to go on strike starting late Thursday night until late Friday night effectively shutting down all public transportation in Italy. So we quickly packed and ran down to the train station seeing if we could get on a train earlier so that we could make it to Naples Thursday night before the strike. Well, after about two hours of waiting to find out information, we found out that the strike was cancelled and the trains would be running as normal. So, we did all of that for nothing and headed back home.
Thursday we headed to Ischia. We got to Ischia at about noon and after checking in, we went and ate, and than sat on the beach for the rest of the day. I wasn't feeling good that night so I stayed in while my roommates went out for the evening. The next day, we got up and hiked Mount Epomeo which is the highest mountain on Ischia. We than went to the beach and later had a big dinner. Sunday morning, we went to Capri in the morning.
After getting to Capri, we went to see how much it would cost to rent a boat from some of the companies there. After finding out the price, we went to go buy tickets back to Naples and think about what we wanted to do. On the way to the ticket office, we were offered to be taken on a small private boat around all of Capri for 100 Euros total. We did that and it ended up being the highlight of the weekend. Most of my pictures down below are from that boat trip. I got to see the Blue Grotto which is probably one of the best sights I have ever seen and got to swim in the sea and much more.
We quickly headed back home after the day was over and got back to Rome late. Well, that was my weekend in a nutshell. I have class early today so I have to go. Have a good day everyone.
