Last night in Randazzo was terrible! We went to one of the few lakes on Sicily, "Lago di Gurrida". When we get there- wich was not easy, it was nothing to see! Just an ugly tiny lake, our book said that it was really beautiful and a lots of birds but what do we see? Some green muddy water, mabye because of the weather but that was really a disappointment. We went up a small dirt road to not hear the traffic, but instead, it rained and blew quite much.. During the day we tried to find a cave, "Grotta del buró" so we went to where we thougt we would be able to hike to the cave, but after fifteen minutes we met a greman-speaking person (Karl knows some german) picking mushrooms. He told us ... read more

Hello! This has been a very long day- and night. It was freezing cold during the night, well, a blanket and a towel is probably not enough to keep warm! My feet were frozen solid. A bird woke us up, it screamed just outside of the car, it was really cute. But however, we went up until the road started to go back down again. There was this cablecar to the top of Etna, but when we walk inside to the cablecar and asked how much it would cost it turned out that it would cost 56 euros!!!! including cablecar, bus and guide to the top.. Well, it's really not a trip for students wich not got plenty of time to hike up to the very summit. Well, we decided to just walk around to some ... read more

Wow! What a hotel, after a very sweet brekfast with croissants wich had chocolate inside and a espresso the staff drove us back to the harbour where we went up to the old castle. There we saw theese cute green lizzards and a big amphitheater. The wiew was stunning, but the ferry would depart in a coupple of minutes so... When we got back to Milazzo we were late to the car rental, so we had to run there to get the car - a tiny Fiat Panda. The car was only two weeks old and really nice haha :) That will be our home for the next three days! We drove out of Milazzo and headed for Messina. On our way we saw this beautiful beach, so we stopped and Karl took a bath i ... read more

Well, today we have went by train from Palermo på Milazzo in the morning, it was quite cheap, 3,5 hours, only 10 euros. Then we took a ferry for 15 euros (Ustica Lines) to Lipari and when we arrived the hotelstaff were waitng for us with a car and they drowe us to our hotel in Canneto. When I got into the hotel, (Hotel Amarea) I thought we had taken the wrong hotel, because it was so beautiful, almoast like a luxury hotel with big rooms and a beautiful wiew over Canneto and the mediterranean sea. We dropped our bags and went down to the beach, the water was freezing cold so went up a hill and it was really beautiful. See you tomorrow! ... read more

Yah! Got here in the evening after a smooth flight from Oslo Rygge with Ryanair (the aircraft was only 5 moths old!). During the flight I purchased a aircraft model of a Boeing 737-800 in the colourscheme of Ryanair. It would be great to have all the models in its colourscheme wich I have been travelling with, but now I only got the Ryanair and a Novair Airbus A321-200. So I am still missing a Boeing 737-800, Boeing 737-300 in the colourcheme of Norwegian Air shuttle and a Fokker 50 in the colourscheme of Skyways Express. Today me, my sister and her boyfriend will be staying at Ai Quattro Canti Hostel in the centre of Palermo. We will be staying for only one night because tomorrow we will be on a train to Milazzo and then ... read more
