Well we travelled through the middle of the island of Sicily today to the eastern side that faces the mainland of Italy. The old abandoned homes, farmhouses and villas set into the country side and perched on hills above the ocean are the stuff of Magazines and I wish I could bring one home with me. We winged our way through the city of Catana along towards Taormina which could be viewed above our heads high in the distant hill top, while to our left was the massive snow caped volcanic peak of Mount Etna. I have been talking about one day visiting Taormina for so many years now and it has not disappointed me in anyway. We drove up to Taormina this evening for diner and for me I have finally found the Italy that has been living in my imagination all this time. To much to share just yet so I will let it sink in and will back it up with photos tomorrow as we plan to book into the central area and spend the day hiking and site seeing. This place is magnificent and diner was sublime.
Bona-sera and arivaderchi for now.
