Aeolian islands and Catania

Catania: football fireworks and massive Mt Etna
This is a top pick! ... to the capital Palermo I took the left fork at Messina and headed down the east coast to the second largest city called Catania. Toward the end of the journey I'd met a couple of local lads who explained that in the afternoon there would be a ...
Sicily
... sky was filled with floating flowers and bells were chiming over and over. A great experience in a short time in Sicily. From Cheryl: Catania was a VERY quick stop. To be honest, we went ashore to say we got to see Sicily! After hearing ...
Arrival
Arrived today to find Catania baking in glorious sunshine after a fantastic jorney in the lap of BA luxury... I just may fly business class more often if I can possibly afford it! Free wine, champagne, good food... What more can you ask? And the ...
Homesickness bites...
Well, its finally happened. Im beginning to feel homesick... Its not England itself I miss that much - though what I would do to see a proper storm on the Atlantic coast right now... - its far more the people. And I miss the fact that I could ...
Catania - Our Last Day
... change trains in Messina. At Messina we found out we could wait an extra hour or so and take a train with only 2 stops into Catania but we'd arrive later than the earlier train that made several stops. So, we opted to take the earlier train and keep ...
Catania
... was a bit cloudy and overcast and we couldn't see the peak - probably a good decision to not do the tour as well... Catania is a nice quaint quiet town and wouldbe lovely in summer. Caught the 10pm overnight train to Rome with Laura. Overnight trains in ...

Finally a good computer!
... floor is always 0) It's clean and the price in half as much as we were paying so that's good. The trip from Sorrento to Catania by train was nine hours and thank god we went first class rather than standard.. We did get to see more of the countryside ...
Christmas is coming!
Hi all! Well the weather is utterly crap today and offers a choice between weta nd windy and...well, more of the same! It's actually a lot like home! The only difference being that when it rains like this here, the whole world stops - people stay at ...
I'm engaged!!!

Reflecting on a weekend in the mountains...
What a fantastic weekend my flatmates and I have enjoyed - good food, reasonably good weather (it was VERY cold during the night, even with a log fire going and winter sleeping bags, and it did threaten to rain on us! But heh...), some fantastic scenery ...

In giro per la città
Catania al sabato mattina. La città è interessante, la presenza dell'Etna è incombente (nel vero senso delle parole!), il centro storico è (sembra) in fase di recupero. La presenza della nera pietra lavica rende alcuni edifici veramente unici. Il ...
The virgin finally caught me out.

Scirocco's a-comin'......
Well, today is a sweltering day - this morning was humid, an unfortunate aspect combined with the abominable heat coming up from the Sahara but thankfully one that has rapidly dispersed during the continuous onslaught of hot, arid winds that leave you ...
Exams passed and all is well...
Well, exams took place yesterday for my Intensive Italian Language course - I passed out reasonably well despite silly mistakes in my written exam with 28/30, which I am told is very good. Great - at the end of the day I don't actually, technically, have ...
And then there were two...
