After Amanda came back to Naples, we spent one more night in the hostel then left for another ferry to the island of Ischia. We stayed there for a week. There was plenty to keep us busy for that week. The hostel was pretty empty during out stay, but our first night in we were taken to the owners restaurant with a few other guests. The meal was interesting to say the least. For a place that is literally right on the water, this restaurants seafood was quite horrible. Even by Callie's standards. That didn't stop us though. We went back almost every night we were there and had some great food.
On one of the brochures we were given, there was a place that you could cliff jump into the water. We spent a few hours trying to find this seemingly non-existent place. After finally turning around, we came across this incredibly delicious restaurant that had some of the best mussels we've ever had. We also loaded up on bruschetta, a variety of meat, and a caprese salad. We tried numerous times to go back, but in true Italian fashion, they were always closed. We continued to look for the cliff after finishing our meal, and as luck had it, we found it about five minutes later. It was a bit of a struggle to get down to the water so we could swim to the cliff. We ran into two people from our hostel, and one of them filmed us jumping off the cliff. We both jumped off a few times. It was nerve wrecking, but so much fun! We spent the next few hours laying out on the rocks and swimming around.
Another day we took a boat tour around the island. It was a seven hour boat ride filled with gorgeous views and tons of snorkeling! Unfortunately, we didn't get any pictures of us snorkeling, but it was so much fun! We definitely would want to do that again. Ischia was incredibly beautiful and very relaxing. We had yet to decide what the next part of our trip was, but we found it in Ischia... a farm stay in Sora!
