 We spent the morning on a half day tour of Elba discovering the east of the island and the lovely little towns of Marina de Campo and Porto Azzurro (where we bought some souvenirs). We returned to Porto Ferraio for the afternoon and, after having our first gen-yoo-ine Italian pizza for lunch, we wandered around the town and admired the original medieval buildings and houses.
