So after that brief morning venture to the fish markets i decide on going to the island Favigiana. For 8 euros you take a a ferry ride courtesy of Ustica Tours which is about a 20-25 minute ride with a nice view of a couple islands as well.Soon as i arrive i pick up a bicycle to rent for 2 euros for the day to see the island.With no true agenda in mind i just ride for a while till i decide on going to this fortress (which i found out what it was later) setting atop of a mountain at least a mile up maybe more.I bike halfway,lock the bike up and have to walk the rest of the way because of no bike access.The view halfway is beautiful,you can see the edge of the side of the island on this side.Finally i get to the top and the view is so serene!You can see the whole island as well as the island of Maurittimo and a few others.I go inside with images of crumbled rock,rusty nails,old electrical equipment from the fifties,love messages etched in the walls from kids making the trek.I take a few pictures chill for a bit and head back down.1843 steps to the bottom!As i head into town i grab a bottled water from a local woman who runs a little shop on the beach near the city center and she speaks some english.She recommends i go see the Cala Azzura Caves,which by bike is only 20 minutes or so away.
