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 ...
Jewel of An Island
... It took him a while, but he finally did. Driving on the right side of the road makes it infinitely less stressful than my last experience in Scotland!! We arrived in our hotel within the hour.

The Lady
... heavy lava flows. Mt Etna was on Tom’s bucket list and so pleased that it was a truly fascinating sight to see. All in all a great day but secretly glad to see the back of Andreas a bit too much for me, he talked about himself a lot confiding in us that when he feels a little down he heads into the area at the base of Mt Etna and just contemplates life. Give him a couple of kids, a spouse, a mortgage, a proper 9-5 job and he won't have ...
