Ischia Porto

Buona sera everyone. Night time is upon us in Ischia on what is an important day on the calendar across the world. In Italy it's the day for "Carnevale" when across the country people get dressed up in fancy dress costumes or take part in parades such as the big ones in Venice, Viareggio or Acireale in Sicily. For many others it's "Mardi Gras", "Fat Tuesday" or "Shrove Tuesday" and being an Englishman I'll opt for the latter of those options as it means delicious pancakes! In terms of the weather it's been a bit grey but not particularly cold. Right now at 6:45pm it's 13° Celsius (55° Fahrenheit) and dry although there is some rain expected any time. It's also quite windy and the forecasts for the next few days are a bit "iffy" let's say. I'm off for a pancake anyway. A domani. Ciao :-)
