Yesterday I came back from the Island of Ischia. The weather was never too hot and never too cold, so I went walking and running through the island every day. The picture below was taken at 06:00 a.m. while I was running slowly close to the water. 
I also enjoyed saltwater pool, freschwater pool, Turkish baths and sauna. Many German people were enjoying there the beneficial properties of Ischia's thermal waters, modified and enriched in the earth's wonderful underground laboratory. For decades rain seeps deep into the soil, flowing through fissures of vulcanic rocks, until they form aquifers inside layers of soil. Here, the water acquires its particular characteristics and high temperature coming in contact with magmatic bodies that lie in the heart of the isle.
In the alleys of the historical centers of Ischia it's possible to find old small buildings with their typical mediterranean architercture. Like many other placea around the world, Ischia's Mayor is letting restaurants and coffees set up tables in streets and alleys to easy virus restrictions.
The bad thing is about the public lines. I was sorry to see an American girl who was fined by police officers: although she had a ticket it wasn't stamped! Maybe the girl forgot to stamp her ticket or she didn't know she have to stamp the ticket. The problem also was that the driver didn't say anything during the journey, although he noticed the girl didn't know the rule. In addition, the men who sold her the ticket didn't say anything about the fact that the ticket stamp machine was on the bus.
Tomorrow, 1st of May, occurs the International workers' day.
Have a nice weekend!

Ischia is one of the most picturesque islands in the Bay of Naples,
part of the Campanian Archipelago...
Besides offering exotic sceneries with flowing hills and rocky beaches,
it's famous for thermal spas and natural springs...
Ischia is accessible only by ferry, hydrofoil, or private boat...
The ports of Naples and Pozzuoli offer regular departures...
However, it's affordable, authentic, and where you'll get a real taste
of Italian island life...
Great photos Giorgio..very lovely and colourful..how do you take such
wonderful photos while your running...! HeHe! God Bless...! :O)
To Willie:
True, Willie, Ischia's hills are so green and there're vulcanic rocks close to the beaches.
I was running very very slowly along the beach ... that's why I was able to take the picture :-)
Ohhh Giorgio, this is a stunning place. How I would love to take advantage of the healing waters. My son, Troy, just informed me that he, his wife, my daughter and her husband are planing a trip to Italy sometime this year. It will be a good trip for the siblings to be together. Yes, that is too bad about the girl and her ticket. Have a lovely day.
Non sono mai stata a Ischia,deve essere meravigliosa.Buon 1 maggio.
Looks like a lovely place to visit - and not too hot and not too cold sounds really appealing!
To Olga, Nicole, and David:
True, the Island of Ischia is really a beautiful place to visit all year long, due to the fact that many hotels have thermal pools, sauna, and spa.
The Island can also offer a variety of natural pools with heated sea water thanks to the Ischia's underground volcano activity. We can enjoy them also in Winter. It's wonderful! Not to mention of Ischia's hiking paths. That's why there are many tourists from Germany and the Netherlands who enjoy Ischia's beauties all year long :-)
The Island of Ischia does indeed look like a beautiful place to visit.
I love places where the climate is neither too hot or too cold.
Happy Monday, Giorgio!
