Day 16
Explore day on Salina
July 17, 2018 in Italy ⋅ 🌬 24 °C
Slept in this morning then went in our car with Claire following on her motor scooter to Santa Marina for a swim and explore. Quaint little place. Had our swim at a beautiful clear water rocky beach. Unfortunately not a lot of sand here. We decided to go back later in the evening as most of the shops and markets would be open as there was a festival with live music and fireworks. John drove the scooter back with Cait on the back. Speed limit on the island is 30kph but I am sure the locals go faster!!! Another swim then siesta before a drink and 6pm nibbles here at the hotel. Went to Santa Marino again and did the shops, markets xxxx. Too tired to wait for the music festival and fireworks which started at midnight!!! Great day in beautiful weather. Night photo of the pool shows our rooms on the first floor, such a great spot.Read more

Day 15
Petralia soprano to Salina
July 16, 2018 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 26 °C
Left at 9am this morning heading for Isle of Salina, a 2 and a half hour trip to catch our ferry at Milano then an hour and a half ferry trip stopping for coffee at the small town of Tisa. What should have been 10 mins off the autostrade took about 45 mins as the road was shocking. Autostrades great, we lost count of tunnels and viaducts, but local roads you would not believe. Arrived Milazzo to find our ferry was ‘broke’ so we had to wait for the next sailing an hour later. Our accomm. on the island made up for it especially the infinity pool, we had a swim after we had settled in. We have our own private deck overlooking the pool and ocean, just magic. Went for a walk before dinner, had a drink at a bar carved into the rocks then on to have pizza.Read more

Day 17
Salina & Lipari
July 18, 2018 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 25 °C
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

Day 18
Drive to Rinella
July 19, 2018 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 25 °C
Lovely drive to Rinella for a swim on a ‘sandy’ beach stopping to view Pollara from a great height, such a beautiful spot. Had a great swim even though it was at a port and loads of people, the water is so clear and warm. I then took over from Claire on the scooter, whopper, the ‘flying Nolesy’ amazing!!! Lunch at a beautiful place with loads of fun with the owner/waiter, too many courses so no dinner tonight. Just nibbles & drinks. Back for a swim in the pool, and a walk around the village. It is going to be hard to leave this place😍Read more
