Jessica and the island of Ischia

Passing the island of Procida going to Ischia, the Abbey of San Michele


Boats in Ischia's harbor with a view of the castle


View of Ischia from the top of the castle


Jessica at the top of the castle


Jessica pretending to be a dead nun. In the 1700s, the nuns of the convent in the castle put the bodies of the dead sisters on these chairs where the bodily fluids drained and they were left to decompose. Later the bones were collected, dried & buried all together. Gory, but true.
