PTM // Ischia, Italy - Day 3

Another late morning! I woke up around 9:30 which is late compared to what I’ve been used to on this trip so far. Most mornings I’ve been up at 7:30, 8:00AM. Coming to Ischia was one of the best decisions I’ve made so far on this trip. It’s been such a refreshing get away for me. I’ve done nothing but lie in the sun, swim in the ocean, hang out in the hammocks on the roof deck, and take in every inch of the beautiful scenery around me. It’s the most relaxed I’ve been on the whole trip. It feels GREAT!

This morning I hung out with my Cali friends before they headed off to Naples. A little later on I decided to rent a bicycle from the hostel for 5 Euro. I headed off and cruised around Forio. I took a spin down to the beach, the cliffs, and stopped to grab some dinner before heading back to the hostel. It was fun, and it was cool to get back on a bike again. I haven’t ridden a bike since I cruised through the valleys of Hopfgarten, Austria a few weeks ago.

When I arrived back at the hostel I ate while I did some research on where I’ll be heading next. My original plan was to stay here in Forio (Ischia) at the Ring Hostel until Friday morning and then take off to Bari, Italy. Instead I’ve decided to jump on the ferry tomorrow morning to Naples and stay on the coast of Naples for a night before taking the train to Bari, Italy.

I found a brochure of a hostel in Naples here at the front desk of the Ring Hostel called Bella/Capri Hostel & Hotel. It looks like a really nice place. I asked the receptionist what she thought about it and she said she stayed there for 3 nights recently and really liked it. She said it was in a good location and also fairly cheap. I checked out the website a bit more and made a reservation for tomorrow night so I’m all set and ready to go!

Tonight I’m just going to hang out here and relax on the roof deck with a couple of beers. Theres really nobody else here, two canadian girls just showed up but that’s about it! This hostel is a ghost town at the moment, and I like it that way!

Ciao!
