Day 18: Ischia

Ischia is a small island off the coast of Sorrento. Known mostly for its extensive spas, it also houses some ancient Greek ruins. These Greeks lived in Ischia before the Romans moved in. Some of the pottery we saw today was over 7000 years old!
Some really, really old pottery.

Spa de Negombo

In the afternoon, we were able to tour the island. A few of us went to a local spa named Negombo. A spa in Italy is more like an adult water park: beach, pools, spring-fed water holes, shady areas for naps.

My favorite pool was number 2 - toward to the top left hand side of the poster.
This pool is up on the top of the mountain.


Take a look of the view from our lounging area.


This is a lovely little slice of relaxation after a long three weeks of work! Sunday, we head out for Rome. Friday and Saturday are mostly free days. ckeck to see my first experiences with Napoli pizza!
