Taormina

9 May 2008

We had stayed the night at St Marco and in the morning caught the bus into Taormina a few kilometres up the coast.

Taormina is an old town situated in an elevated position overlooking several coastal resorts below and with Etna as a backdrop. It is very popular with tourists. In the morning, I used a good internet café to update the blog and catch up on emails. While I was busy Wendy found a hairdresser and had her hair cut.

In the afternoon we visited yet another Greek Theatre, wandered around the streets many of which were stepped and went into a very pleasant formal garden. Everywhere there were great views of the coast and mountains.

When we got back, the campsite which had been nearly empty was now nearly full with a group of 19 Dutch caravans who were doing a tour of Sicily and two other Fiat van conversions very similar to ours.
