Sicily Trip





Well it was a lovely wedding anniversary break in Sicily at the end of March. Impressed with BA who we flew with this time - we were able to choose our seats on line and print off our boarding pass within 24 hours of the flight which meant we could cut down the time spent at the airport.....there was still time to pick up a lovely new Nikon D90 at tax free prices though, saving £100 on the normal retail price. A great way to start an anniversary!
The weather was fine and the views were beautiful, even from the approach into Catania we flew over Mount Etna still heavily snow covered from the good winter they had. The classical shot from the ground from the amphitheatre in Taormina our base for 5 nights was just as rewarding.
We enjoyed some short walks around the hilltop village of Castemola above Taormina and a walk down from the castle on another hill above. Cities we visited included Messina and a last day in Catania. Plenty of photographic opportunities means loads of pictures to sort!
