La Dolce Vita
A lovely morning in Messina and we are hoping to disembark early enough to catch the train to Taormina. Unfortunately the Italian officials took their time so it was 9.20am when we got off and not quite enough time left to catch the train.
There were taxi drivers offering to go there for €120 for 4 people and stay and hour. We got together with another couple and negotiated down to €100 for a 2.5 hour stay, only 1 driver would take this so off we ...

Riding back to our accommodation we passed thru some less desirable areas some of which looked like a travelers camp. Numerous motor homes that looked like they had not moved for quite some time, tarps over them and really like a squatters camp. So much rubbish around too very disheartening. Also around the Stazione many homeless people.
