Hi Al, we are on the delightful island of Liparu one hour (fast) ferry ride from Sicily mainland ar the residence la giara, which was recommended by a German family who we met in Taormino.
We have had a great trip to Sicily. We drove to the wonderful city of Naples from Paciano about 4 hours. Boy oh boy what a dump Naples is. Filthy dirty grotty black Africans hassling you very nasty place. However we did hav a nice lunc at the harbour while waiting to get the car ferry to Palermo, Sicily . We had a fun while in the care queue watching the big trucks boarding the ferry. It was quite exciting to drive on in the car then head up to our cabins for the overnight trip to Pelermo. We eagerly watched the lights of Naples disappear and all agreed we will never go there again. The trip was pretty rough and poor old Keith had to leave the dinner table to get some air. He was decidedly pale, however he was a fin in the mornings, bur. Our deluxe first class cabin had a twin beds, adequate bathroom except I was too early for the shower and mine was cold. Quite comfy but neither of us sept very well. Terrific to come into Palermo early in the morning, and Sicily looked must as I had imagined, very rugged steep rocky hills. We then took off to go to Taormino just next to Mt Etna along the coast. It was early morning peak hour and my goodness the drivers make up the rules as they want. Keith has done an amazing job with the driving....oops gotta go the taxi is coming to take us on tour of the island . We didn't bring the car here. Only get wifi at the reception so will be back soon...
