Today is relaxation day. We have earned a day with no hiking! Our plan today was to explore three beaches in Lipari via bus. We slept a little late, had breakfast, showered off Stromboli's ash, then looked at the map and the bus schedule.

It is very picturesque, with two churches, colorful fishing ...
