 Next morning we didnt visit Sant'Angelo but went straight to Ischia Ponte, where the volcanic island has an impressive castle has been built on its top.  We visited Castello Aragonese then left for an interesting navigation ,  On our way to Napoli, we saw an island from far away, it happens to be Isola Procida.  We changed our heading to have a closer look at this beautiful and colorful village of Corricella.  When we were just approaching Naples, a storm with a good 20 knot wind gust hit us.  But it was just a short event, all went well and we arrived safely at Naples.
