Fri. 27th. Jan.
Had a good night by the beach, very quiet, just the sound of the surf. (And my coughing apparently.) After breakfast headed back to Milazzo to visit the castle. On the way we spotted a shopping centre and went off in search of a new camera to replace the one we lost. Bought another Olympus, paid too much but we can start taking pics again. On to Milazzo and parked in a dodgy spot, Italian style and took off up the steps to the old town. A long slog later we arrived at the castle and found it to be closed, still undergoing renovations after 2 years. Looked around the duomo and learned a little about the history of the castle. Walked back to the van and were relieved to find no parking ticket. It's good to know we can get away with outrageous parking too!! Made an executive decision to head for Giardini Naxus for the night and a trip to Etna tomorrow. Stromboli had it's chance and blew it!! We're going for the big one!! Hope the weather is kind to us for our trip tomorrow. Took a long walk tonight in G N and have to say that it is probably the best part of the island.
