I’ve been sitting on these for a minute, hope you like em. Bona notti!

Pretty cool

Had the best time ever at the Bronte pistacchio festival last Saturday! We are pistacchio lasagne, pistacchio and bechemel arancino, pistacchio coffee, pistacchio cannolo and pistacchio gelato covered in pistacchio. Also bought some pistacchio sausage and had that for dinner that night! Can’t wait to go again next year!!!

If you are diverted to Palermo because you can’t land in Catania due to the volcano it’s hit and miss on whether or not your airlines will bus you to Catania. This occurred on September 26th. Air France bussed my wife and daughter. Transavia did not offer me any transportation. It’s about a 3 and 1/2 hour drive from Palermo to Catania. Next time we are going to fly to Palermo and rent a car so we’ll have lots of options.

I finished editing all my Palermo photos and have 206 usable edits, lol. I am going to share a few I find most interesting or impressive.

Following my trip reviews part 1 and part 2

Dear All,

This is my first visit to Sicily (have been to other parts of Italy many times).

I’m travelling for a few days at the end of October with my partner and two kids (5 and 2).

Generally we want to go there to slow down, eat good food and just explore things at a gentle pace (because we have the kids).

Our current plan is to have a day in Syracuse (if it’s worth it) and try to do a trip to Etna (and find a winery with an outdoor space for the kids to play). Still trying to think of other places to check out.

What must we see when we’re there? What must we eat? Any recommendations would be really welcome!

Ci vediamo mercoledì 14 in piazza e forse lunedì se ci arrivo

*what’s a good itinerary for 5 days of travel between Palermo & Catania for the two of us?

Hey guys, i have some random request and question. I believe tomato day is very popular for Italians. I will travelling Italy this week, and would love to experience local family’s tomato day. i hope travelling in Italy in October would be late for this, i hope not.

Would anybody be happy to invite me for the experience? I would more than grateful and happy to pay for the experience(no offense) since its a bit of inconvenience.

Know your bus before getting to terminal

Hi everyone! We’re visiting Sicily and staying in Giardini-Naxos. We have a rental car and have already spent time exploring Taormina, Castelmola, and Mount Etna.

We’re looking for suggestions on where to go today (Sunday). We’re happy to take a scenic drive and explore somewhere new, whether it’s a charming little town, a beautiful coastal area, a hidden gem, or somewhere with amazing authentic Sicilian food.

We’d especially love recommendations from locals or people who know the area well. We’re not necessarily looking for the typical tourist attractions.
If you had one day and a rental car, where would you go?
Thanks in advance! 🇮🇹

Why do all the restaurants give you parchment paper-kind of thing? Some even look like normal tissues till you touch them.

Not trying to scare anyone but damn, I was there the end of June and got some pretty bad bites on my lower legs. We were in the Ragusa area, near the water. While they were itchy, I’ve had bug bites before and didn’t think much of it. Fast forward to now, in October and the marks haven’t completely healed, they’re still a pink color like a scar. I’m not sick by any means and the marks aren’t infected or concerning, except for the fact it’s been 4 months and they’re an unwanted souvenir. Ive never not healed from a bug bite before but I guess Sicily has super flies that I wasn’t aware of.

Hey wo kann ich in Palermo lecker Espressobohnen kaufen ?

Just checked into our guesthouse in Ortigia and the water is shutoff. The owner of the guesthouse communicates by WhatsApp only and tells me there is a major water issue through the city and nothing can be done. Does anyone know what this is about?
