    Scilla

    June 8, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    From Rocella Ionica we had a 10 hour trip around the toe of Italy and up towards the Messina straits stopping the night in Reggio Calabria. We started out at 6am so were moored up around 4pm and managed a stroll through town and then back along the promenade. In this region of Italy there aren’t many old buildings the earthquakes keep destroying them, but the rebuilds in Reggio were Baroque in style and the streets were wide there were trees there that had definitely withstood many of the quakes that had toppled buildings, they were huge. We only stayed the one night then had a short 2hour hop to Scilla tomorrow we plan to go towards the Aeolian Islands but stopping at Milazzo on the way for a night.
    Scilla has a castle and lots of winding streets and two sword fish boats, they are weird most seem to do tourist trips nowadays, where you can climb to the crows nest to look for swordfish.
