Travel to “Isola del Giglioâ€: Part VII
May 9th, 2007 by admin
Unfortunately even this holiday came to an end 
The last day, before taking the ferry back home, we did the last trip to the lighthouse, with a bit of nostalgy (to be honest, a lot of nostalgy!). Then when we got back to the port we realized that we had still 2h of time before departure. So we started a tour of the various shops, we got an ice cream, but only 30 minutes had passed. In such moments the time seems to pass so slowly…and then we used the car and we drove back a bit, to a path we saw some days before, to do a quick exploration.
Knowing that we hadn’t much time available we ran through the path quickly, and we were astonished to see a very beautiful spot, completely hidden from the main road!
In a race against the time, pushed from the curiosity to take a closer look, we almost broke a leg and were about to be bitten by a snake that was sleeping in the stones nearby (I didn’t notice if it was a viper or anything else). But in the end we made it! but we were disappointed to see that the shore wasn’t “secret” at all, but a private shore, indeed a huge villa was built just on the seaside…!
In the picture above you can’t see the villa, but you can see the shore. I have to admit that I’m a bit envy 
anyway, that was our last excursion in our holiday to the “Isola del Giglio”, a really wonderful place that I suggest to visit, but only in low season! I can’t imagine all those small roads and little shores by summer, full of people…!
