After a good breakfast we said "caio" to our charming host Alessandronwho who reminded us that his establishment is featured on Tripadvisor if we would like to leave a comment. pointed the car in the direction of Taormina on the coast. Etna was in heavy could as we passed so it was just as well that we didn't have time to stop. A very popular tourist destination, parking was difficult. We took the cablecar down to the sea and had lunch in a smart place over looking the sea. This was the most expensive meal of the trip but I suppose that you pay for the surroundings.
Our next stop was Syracuse, a really beautiful, lively city with lots of squares. Don't quite know how it happened but we ended up in a budget place advertising itself as a B & B. There was a clean bed, an ok "en suite" but no breakfast and the décor pretty shabby!
Enjoyed wandering around and had a good meal in another place that is also featured on Tripadvisor. One night was not enough to enjoy Syracuse with it's wide avenues and colourful oleander trees. It would be a nice place to spend a romantic weekend mmmm, why not?
