I will never ever visit Isola Bella again

I was pretty young when I visited this island. All seemed fine. Flora seemed nice, the water was nice, the food was nice. All good. I think I’ve visited it two or three times in a row.
However, my worst run of luck ever happened on this island. I stepped on a sea shell, causing a three inch cut on my foot. I wasp stuck me and what I believe was a dragon fly bit me. Just below my right nipple. It bit a chunk out of me. An ambulance picked me up for a bumpy ride and they disinfected, what I then referred to as the ‘gaping hole’, with ammonia.
I’ll never set foot on that island again. But you’re welcome to try…

A review of this place

Beautiful island in the middle of a breath-taking place. A hidden gem. Palm trees in the Alps, people! I mean c’mon!
