Didn't have long in Catania - the first day I got here I went straight to Taormini and spent the day there, and I only had that evening and the following morning to see this volcanic city. Went to see Piazza Duomo in the night which has the Fontana dell'Elefante made of lava in its centre, and surrounded by the Duomo and other nice buildings. I then went in the morning to try and get a view of Mount Etna as I didn't get to see it yesterday.... read more

The first thing I did when I got up was go to the suburbs, to the catacombs which I was really excited about. You see I have a morbid fascination with the dead and stuff like that, and these catacombs have around 8000 mummified corpses of Palermo citizens from between the 17th and 19th centuries. It was fascinating. Mostly skeletons but some of them still had skin and hair! Apparently the higher class corpses are better preserved than the paupers. There was a section for child corpses and a separate corridor for males and females/higher and lower classes/virgins. Then I walked back down Via Vittorio Emanuele where I picked up a few cheap outfits :), past the beautiful cathedral and to the Palazzo dei Normanni. From here I decided to take the city in quarters, starting ... read more

For those from the Anglo-Saxon world, if you ever want to find out the fast way whether you're capable of driving on the right-hand side of the road, try starting out on a Naples motorway on Friday night. Carnage! For my first hour and a half in Italy I had cars and motorcycles driving up to my bumper, flashing their lights and honking for their lives until I could find a way of letting them past. No surprise they’re in a rush, considering they will probably be leading quite short lives. I was riding my way through waves of terror until we got to Salerno. Our two-week car-driving adventure in Southern Italy and Sicily had begun! Our first day followed what was to become a familiar pattern: a slightly stressful period of travel and accommodation-hunting, followed ... read more

Geo: 38.1157, 13.3612Helen and Wildy were missing the beach so we drove along the coast west of Palermo. Our mistake was to do this on a Sunday as everyone in Palermo has the same idea. We arrived at Mondello which is a beach resort and drove round in circles looking for parking to no avail. So next we headed to Sferacavallo and found the same thing. Undaunted we drove further west and ended up in Castellamare del Golfo. Here we found La Campana on via del Macello which had tables outside and excellent seafood. After we drove down to the beach and found it easy to park. There were facilities of loos and showers and a bar on the beach and it wasnt too crowded so everyone happy. Returning to Palermo was very slow because everyone ... read more
