Well where do we start?? So far it has been an experience we will never forget, we have only been here for a week and it feels like a month........ i think that is a good thing??!! We decided to drive in Sicily...........bad idea!! they are crazy drivers and have no roads rules, they make 2 lanes out of one and three lanes out of two,drive on the wrong side of the road, overtake when there is no room, park anywhere and i mean ANYWHERE!!! judge for yourself when you see the photos.SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!
But apart from that it has been wonderful, the scenery is amazing and the people are great but there is no english spoken and all the signs are in italian so it has been an experience conversing with them, thank goodness I have a little bit of italian to fall back on.
We have just about walked our feet off, meandering through the little villages, going where most tourists don't go, there has been a surprise around every corner and every alleyway. Have taken 100's of photos some of which i will post later as soon as i can sort them out. The food is delicious and great weather.
So far we have been to Palermo, Cefalu, Taormino, by tow truck to Catania via Messina ( story for another time!!!!) back to Catania airport for another car, #3, Siracusa, Agrigento and back to Palermo.
Yesterday in Agrigento we had our own guide who took us thru the Valley of the Temples. Amazing!!!!!!!!!! Recommend it to everyone interested in history and archeology. Also I must mention Cefalu, this little village stole our hearts, we would love to live here for a while. A beautiful little seaside fishing village.
Tomorrow, 7th May ( i think, we are a bit lost as to what day it is, having come thru 9 time zones on our way here ),anyway we fly out to Naples on our way to Positano for 5 nights, we will see Pompeii, the Isle of Capri and the Amalfi Coast to name a few.
Will report back in a few days.
Ciao
Cristina n Stefano :)
