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.
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.
We are settled now in our hotel room. Our water taxi broke down on the way here - I've uploaded a photo of the poor man trying to fix it. We are off out for a wander and dinner shortly. Just cooling off a bit! Also, we have Prince of Wales tea.
