After a very challenging year of demanding classes, exams and relationship problems, by June, I was in urgent
need of a holiday. I searched the Internet for days, looking for destinations that would be inexpensive, relaxing
and enjoyable, and I finally chose the Italian island of Ischia. It offered a wide variety of affordable
accommodation, a stunning harbour, a castle to explore, and the chance to go on several enjoyable excursions.
It sounded ideal – but holidays don’t always turn out as imagined!
The first couple of days were perfect, despite the fact that a delayed flight and a bit of trouble at passport
control slowed things down a little. But the crossing by boat from the mainland was calm, so, for once, I didn’t
get seasick. I was also pleased to find that my room was great, and the breathtaking views were even more
stunning than the photos had suggested.
Actually, it was the views that nearly killed me. On day three, I was hiking along one of the trails, admiring the
sea view, when I caught my foot on something which sent me right over the edge of the cliff. I was lucky there
was a small ledge about five metres down, but as it broke my fall, I heard a sickening sound from my lower leg
and knew I had broken a bone. I took out my phone, thinking I’d call the emergency services, but I’d forgotten
to charge it, and anyhow, I didn’t know what number to dial!
Luckily, a young couple hiking behind me had seen me fall. They rushed over, reassured me that I would be all
right, and rang for the rescue services. Although it felt like hours, it was probably only forty-five minutes before
they arrived, pulled me back up the cliff, and got me into an ambulance. Of course, they had to put a cast on
my leg, so I spent the rest of the holiday sitting on my balcony looking out at a – now inaccessible – view.
As a result of my experience, I’ll never again scoff at those who promote travel safety. I realised I’d made
several basic mistakes, and was, justifiably, paying the price.
