ITALIA Day 4 (con't): Farewell Taormina

After our long day of fun in the sun, we got back to our hotel and got ready for our last night out on the town. We wandered around the high street and stopped to grab an aperitivo in IX Aprile Square and people watch. WE SPOTTED ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO , of all people, with her daughter. Too bad we didn't get a picture, she is absolutely gorgeous!  After a bit of pizza and wine, we headed back home to get a good nights sleep for our early morning start the next day - another long day of traveling to Palermo, back to where it all started.

ITALIA Day 3: A view from the top

After traveling on several buses, numerous twists and turns up the steep and narrow roads and the most expensive taxi in the world (15 Euros for a 2 mile journey!) we finally made it to our hotel. The room was overpriced for what it was, but the view from the outdoor pool made up for it. Absolutely stunning. Buongiorno Taormina!

Just a quick glimpse of Mt. Etna on the bus from Catania to Taormina.

Houseguest

One of my good friends from Texas is coming to visit for a little more than a week starting today - YAY! Had to post as I'm mega excited! I can't believe I've already been gone for 2 whole months, I've definitely been missing my girls back home. I wish everyone could come over to see jolly old England!

*We're off to Sicily for four nights next week so traveling posts to come!
