On the road in our car rental after a wonderful European breakfast of croissants, ham, cheese, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, and of course the espressos to wake up my husband! We drive along the northern coast of Sicily with rugged, lively green hills on our right and the sparkling "med" on our left. I would have to describe this part of the island as a myriad of tunnels connected by glimpses of the sea. It took approximately four hours to reach our final destination of Taormina, a quaint coastal town nestled into the rugged eastern hillside of Sicily. Once again we are thankful for our GPS because our hotel is on the TOP of the "mountain" and located only after a harrowing drive through twisting, narrow roads. (Thankfully, I am blessed with a husband who "cut his teeth" driving in New York and in Italy in 1968!)
The evening was spent walking down MANY stairs to the towns center, wandering the streets of this beautiful little town, and eating a delicious meal at a local pizzeria, where we met a delightful couple from the Netherlands, sharing traveling adventures. Now how do we find our way back to our hotel in the dark??
