After three low-key beach days in quiet Procida, we took a 30-minute ferry to the neighboring island of Ischia this morning. There’s a lot more tourism and general buzz here, a nice contrast to peaceful Procida.

Walking through the town we noticed a lot of high end retail stores with window displays dominated by winter clothes. This struck us as a bit of a non-sequitur in a beach resort town. We also thought, “Why would you go stock up on winter clothes when you could just go someplace warm?”
