York, England

 October 7

Today was a full day! We found breakfast just near the Shambles Market at a place called Sandwitches. They decorated the place with all types of music and film mostly from America.






Then off we went to meet our tour guide for our walking tour. At the York Minster. Our tour lasted  2 hours and we learned a lot about York. We walked down the Shambles many times today. In years past this was the butchers street but more gently it was the inspiration for diagonal Alley from the Harry Potter books. But York has a rich history involving the Vikings, the Romans and Christianity. 









We spent the rest of the day walking around York. Really a nice place to visit. We saw som Greylag Geese, the Royal geese protected by the English Crown. Dame Judi Dench’s own lane. Also the Medieval guild market and the town’s wall, mostly still intact. 









We stopped at several pubs over the course of the day, having lunch at one. At 5:30, we attended Evensong at the York Minster. Probably the best way to see it! 






Tomorrow, we head to Edinburgh at 10!

Anacapri and Marina Piccola

Image
 October 5, 2024 We awoke to our first breakfast here at Aldarogi. Scrambled eggs, prosciutto, cheese, tomatoes and croissants. And a great cappuccino!  We then headed up the exhausting climb to Capri (143 bpm). Which takes about 10 minutes.  It rained hard overnight, but no rain is expected today! I was awake from midnight to about 4 and loved our view of the Italy coastline from our room. It just sparkled! We grabbed a bus to Anacapri (20 minutes of hairpin turns) and were deposited in the main Piazza. We walked a little, grabbing a map from a vendor and then made our way to the chairlift.  Once at the top, we had another coffee and took in the panoramic views from there.  Back down again we explored Anacapri and I bought some tiles for our eventual new home at 309 W. 19th Avenue. We ate lunch at an off-the-beaten-path trattoria and had a delicious experience! Ravioli Caprese and a Caprese Salad. So fresh and good! After lunch we visited the nearby church and it’s beautiful mosaic fl

Naples and Catania

 October 9, 2024 This morning we packed and checked out (leaving our bags for them to hold) while we went out to explore once more. We took the metro to the Municipal area and palazzo Reale (royal palace) but alas it is closed. Instead we visited the iconic castle by the port, Castle Nuovi, built in the 1279 as a palace for the french king, Charles I, and took a tour.  In the middle of our tour I got a text from EasyJet reminding us of our flight at 2:45. We thought it was at 3:45! Gasp! 🫢 so we left the tour and had to hike it back to the metro and then hike from there to our hotel. As we were arriving at our hotel, a cab was dropping someone else off so we had her wait while we grabbed our luggage at the front desk. We made it to the airport in enough time to sit down for a beer and a light lunch before heading to our gate.  Our flight ended up being delayed due to cell service interruption and so we ended up leaving a little more than an hour later. Ciao Napoli!  Finally in Catania

Siracusa and Ortigia

Image
 October 12, 2024 Breakfast with Mt. Etna Our hotel Byssus Suites is in Siracusa but wasn’t ready when we arrived. The drive from Acireale was about 1.5 hours. The hotel took our luggage and parked our car. Ortigia is an island and mostly pedestrian, so we walked there (about 15 minutes) to look around. They have a massive farmers market and we walked around and ducked into a small restaurant just behind a fruit merchant who regularly started hawking. Ortigia farmers market Archemedes fountain The beautiful old lanes of Ortigia The Duomo - inside is the left arm of Santa Lucia (Sicily’s patron saint) Plumeria trees line the streets in Siracusa. Another tree seen often looks like ficus trees but the trunks are massive!  Interesting ending machine!  We had a nice dinner at Pourquoi Pas. Although in Sicily the food is mostly seafood, I opted for a pork dish this time. The roasted cabbage is soooo good! I need to try this at home! Our room is very spacious and high quality!  Tomorrow we wi
