Lipari via Stromboli

Early departure on the Stromboli Express bound for Lipari via Vulcano. Apparently this was the first day the ferry was running this week due to high seas.
Well they were still high and I was stuck in a boat full of seasick germans. No one spoke english except one of the crew who had some english and kindly came and told me the basics as all announcements were in italian and german. Due to the Stromboli eruption 28 days ago, boats were re-routed so we were going via Stromboli as there were too many people going in the afternoon. They need to manage numbers in the event of an emergency evacuation.
Arrived in Lipari and the lovely quiet Il Cappero B&B with my own courtyard, view over town and only the sound of chickens and nature.
Swum just downhill, then home dinner of bbq chicken and salad and figs with total yoghurt. (And a red wine).Read more
