We were debating whether to do a Mt Etna tour but in the end decided to give it a miss as it was expensive and we weren't guaranteed on seeing much depending on the conditions up the mountain.
Instead we caught a train ...

enfin sortie des rue sombres et sales de naples, Syracuses est une ville tres jolie et prorpre. La temperature est un peu plus douce le soir et le jour, au soleil c'est chaud. Nous avons vue le parc archeologique qui concitent une arene romaine, un theatre grec et une immense grotte ...

partie avec 35 minutes de retard, on est arriver plus de deux heures en retard a notre destination. 11 heures de train pour se rendre a syracuse. heureusement, la ville et l'auberge sont tous les deux tres belles.

point interessant , pourqoi partir un pont quand on peut prendre une heure pour mettre le train dans un bateau et lui faire faire la dstance en longueuil et montreal? les italiens le savent surement !

After our stay in Siracusa, we drove to Agrigento, on the south coast of sicily. Stunningly beautiful blue sky and blue Mediterranean waters set off the sight of magnificent Greek Temples onthe ridges overlooking the bay. Built in the period of around 565 BC these beautiful structures have withstood the ravages of invasions by Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Normans ...

... met, but we had been in contact recently by e-mail. They were happy to meet us, they took us to visit several elderly cousins, who spoke only Italian, but whose happiness to meet us was shown by kisses, hugs, tears, and abundant sweets and espresso coffee. We will hold memories of these dear people in our hearts.

... in Palermo, two days later. They were finally returned to Rome and we were reunited with our luggage. Oh happy day...together again!!
My advice is: do not book a flight on Easy Jet. No matter that thir prices are lower than some of the others. They have idiots working for them, and your luggage is just too complicated for them to kee track of if anything diverts their short ...

... might start having to get used to again) before heading to the park to try and get a view of Mount Etna through the clouds and to eat our purchases from the market. From there we made our way down to the Piazza Del Duomo, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We tried to go to the botanic gardens but this was shut and then sadly for us so was our favourite pastry shop, yes that's right we have been here a day and we already have a favourite pastry shop. With ...

... wlan-internet wollte sie dann auch noch eur 10.—heuschen, was ich zähneknirschend akzeptieren musste, da ich unbedingt flug, zug etc buchen wollte/musste für die heimfahrt.

Syracuse ist ebenfalls völlig überteuert. Überall sind exkursions-schiffe im hafen und werben um touris, die es schlicht nicht gibt. Es scheint, ganz sizilien ist tourismusmässig eingebrochen und wartet auf bessere zeiten, ohne dass man etwas aktiv dafür macht. Beginnen könnte man zum ...

... we took a roundabout way to the Park. it's cool we did make it. The roman amphitheater was great, but less cared of than the greek amphitheater. In my opinion the best thing about Siracusa was the caverns. These caves were huge and rock formations were awesome. there were people studying the echoes of the caverns. I gave a big Yiiieeaaah to help him with his research. I don't think he appreciated it too much. I probably sabotaged his research.
