From foot to ball!

August 15, 2026

A somewhat gruelling 8 hour train ride from the bliss of Sorrento and Napoli today we travelled down the coast to the bottom of Italy's boot and crossed the Straight of Messina by boat across to Sicily. Europe's last train-boat. The train drove onto the ferry. Very Novell! We then continued down to Catania and to our final base for a few days. This evening we took to the pool, followed by some food and now bed! Wrecked.

Catania, better than it sometimes looks!

Today we went into Catania centre for a little wander. Looks can be deceiving though, parts are very run down but parts are lovely. It was very hot so we didn't go mad but took in. A few sights and shops.

Final day!

Can't believe it has come to an end. We wandered about Catania for a bit and took in some lovely views and a market. Then the obligatory trip to a Hypermarket followed by returning to our ash-filled hotel swimming pool for some fun. We then Ubered into town again for dinner and got treated to fireworks for Festa di Sant'Agata (celebration of patron saint of Catania). What a send off!
