Mon.12th.Dec.
Wow, good news and bad news. Had leisurely breakfast then went off in search of train times for our trip to Taormina. Train at 8.50am followed by one at 1.20pm. Time was 9am. No bus service suitable. Had to go back and tell Jan our trip was postponed, not a good idea as she had spent some time getting herself ready in nice dress and make up. The good news was the sun had come out and it was getting on for 70 already. Time for some laying in the sun. After a bit of a pout we agreed that the best plan was to move on to Giardini Naxos, down the coast tomorrow and visit Taormina from there. Spent the rest of the day laying in the sun, perfect. This evening we were determined to eat pizza cooked forno al legne. (in a wood fired oven) Presented ourselves at a Mexican pizzaria around 7.45 and ordered starters from Italian language menu. Got funghi dinamite, very spicy stuffed mushrooms and gambas flaming, which was exactly that, king prawn, on fire. Very exciting. Main course was seafood pizza and an Italian pizza. Very good, didn't think the wood fire made too much difference though. Excellent meal, washed down with couple of beers and some fizzy water. €36 was quite cheap for eating out in Italy. A day that started badly had finished with a flourish. Moving day tomorrow.
