One of our first days in Terracina we decided to take the ferry out to the island Ponza, a 2 1/2 hours ferry trip. Left Terracine early in the morning. Had planned to take the car with us, but the ferry was too full, so we parked the car near the harbour and boarded the ferry. Spent the da
y with our friends, Brit and Hans, the owners of the flat.
The weather was nice, and warm enough even in the morning to spent the trip outdoors in the bright sun.
Ponza is only a small island, and extremly charming the way it shown itself to us from the ferry, with the square pastel coloured houses welcoming all visitors from the sea.
We started the morning with a walk in the village. I bought a map and postcards, which I always do when I come to new places, bought an icecream to Marta (she was hot and thirsty), looked into small fish shops and finally sat down with a cappucino and gelateria on a cafe overlooking the harbour.
Later in the day we took a bustrip around part of the island. Our trip ended at the beach where we spent nice hours swimming, sunbathing and eating local pizza.
Back in the town we walked around breathing the air of this charming place. And then had a good rest and a beautiful sunset on the ferry on our way back home to Terracina in the evening.
