Salina & Lipari

Relaxed brekkie by the pool this morning, then off on our trek to Lipari. On line schedule says leave 10.30am, get to wharf - oh, left at 9.50 next one 11.30. Much swearing xxxxx. Finally on boat black smoke billowing from engine but made it to Lipari. Brought back many memories from 2001, I lit a candle for Mike in the local church, shed a few tears then went walking. A delightful place, lovely shops and narrow lanes. We had a lovely lunch in the town and generally just wandered. Our ferry was half an hour late (so what’s new) then about the same to load!!! Back safely on Salina it was time for a swim. We love our hotel and it’s pool. Short walk to dinner which was great then on to a movie in the Piazza, unfortunately all in Italian, no sub titles!! Salina is a delightful island to just relax, Italian time and we have had a lot of that. Deli’s with wonderful capers, aubergines cheeses and all sorts of goodies.Read more
