Poking about

We had walked around the main streets of Forio  when we first arrived and now we wandered in the back streets to find out more about the town. Away from the tourist areas everything was quiet.
An imposing old gateway gave privacy to what appeared to be quite a modern house.

Other homes were more humble, but charming, with an open air kitchen and shaded seating in the garden.

We walked to the tower
where no one was home.
A  row of police cars were lined up outside the station. I hope they never have to deal with an unruly crowd!
We braved the buses once more in order to wander around the back streets of Casamicciola on the north coast. All was quiet. The volcanic Monte Epomeo wasn't visible, it was shrouded in cloud.
House for sale!

And only a pigeon at home here.





Boats of all shapes and sizes in the harbour.
Then it was time for another wait at the bus stop before a crazy journey back to the hotel. Crazy cramming and a lot more yelling of,"Porta!" Makes the London underground seem a doddle!

  2. What's the difference between a hedgehog and a police car? The hedgehog has pricks on the outside.
