Jolly Bellini Catania

I just checked out my 'stats' section and I'm quite pleased with my little blog and how much people are enjoying reading about my travels. I have over 20 5-star ratings and over 2,000 viewings. That is so incredibly awesome!<br><br>Apparently my photos are also not so bad. Travelpod has selected almost a dozen of them to be included in the daily ...

... kind of think I've perfected it. Anyway, in Italy, it does niente! An old man at the railway station stared at me the entire way I walked toward him and I could feel his eyes on me the entire time I walked away. When I realized that I couldn't get out where I thought I could (this trip really is exposing my unknown flaw of a horrible sense of direction) he watched me walk the entire way back. And he wasn't a dirty, old man. He was just a grampa. Just an old guy. But that's the Italian way ...

... Mount Etna. <br>Among shops, pubs, restaurants, coffee bars, pubs, discos, game rooms, <br>parks, banks, you can appreciate the many buildings and places: Piazza <br>University <br>and Palazzo San Giuliano, the Collegiate Church, the Church of the Child, Piazza <br>Stesicoro, Villa Bellini and Piazza Cavour, also known as "the village". <br><br>The B &amp; B Hotel Alba is 50 meters from the lively and ...

... in the 1669 eruption in which nearly 12 000 people lost their lives. It is not a brilliant black it kind of gives the city a dirty look. <br><br>Our early morning tour of Catania started with 'La Pescheria' (fish market), followed by the chaos of the produce market were we brought fresh fruit and some amazing panini, bread stuffed with tomato, mozzarella and a spicy olive paste. From there we headed up to the Castello Ursino and some Roman ruins (something ...

... das sei halt einfach in dieser 2.grössten sizilianischen stadt der fall (später mussten wir merken, dass dies überall so ist). <br>übrigens: schaut euch unter den fotos vorallem den video-zusammenschnitt an über die vespa-fahrer auf sizilien (die krassesten szenen sind aber halt nicht darauf,weil man ja nicht immer alles gleich filmen kann unterwegs).<br><br><br><br> Toll war aber einerseits der food-markt in einem stadtteil, voll mit verschiedensten frischen ...

A lovely quaint very old area. Stayed in a lovely hotel with great attentive staff would recommend it to any couple looking for a romantic break or second honeymoon. Just off the main shopping street of Corso Umberto but found that the shopping was over priced so don't go expecting any bargains.

... as "TR was in the zone like Tiger on the back nine, etc, etc" I felt so nauseous I almost had to ask where the bathroom was. We walked back, cracked some, wine, read, and called it a night. I was wresting with whether or not I should wake us up at 6:30, hurry us out the door, and try and catch the 10am flight. I set my alarm just in case, but I decided that the last thing I wanted to do was hustle up to Bolzano and abandon my sister for what I knew would be at best ...

... the gal at the hotel desk was very helpful and tried hard to help us. I finally got the number for another airline out of here and called them and after about six transfers got someone who could understand a bit of English.. The hotel gal had only tried Air Italia and they wanted $1200.00 for one way seats to Florence but this other line gave us a deal and it will only cost about $400.00 so weàre booked for ...
