Malisa and Steve have been on a Mediterranean sailing adventure for a year now. Today is the day when two blogs collide http://www.bob-blog.info/and we get too hook up with them.
We head into Siracusa and the elegant island of Ortygia, site of both ports. Just in time to hit the busy Saturday morning market, awash with local produce, fruit and veg stalls, riotous with colour, plant, flowers and herb sellers and of course amazing fish stalls.
There were almost as many tourists with cameras on tripods as there were punters (I love my little point and click) so I became all snooty and didn’t take any pictures. Shame really.
Syracusa is a beautiful port with many elegant streets. Meet M & S on the steps of the Duomo (originally a 5thC BC Greek temple) and got so engrossed in catching up hardly gave it the attention it deserved.
Lunch down on the harbour, with views of a cruse liner and their boat, lots more catching up. Home for a swim, happy and tired.

ReplyDeleteAs Fi says, you look very relaxed! Great life! All the stress to arrange the trip was all worthwhile!
