Changing direction

From the southernmost tip there is only one way to go and that is north. It also happens to be that I'll be on the way back. My preparations for starting today are very slow, I finally catch on that I'm dragging my feet because I actually really don't want to leave. The warm weather is so fantastic, I haven't been cold in 30 days and it hasn't rained one drop. You couldn't ask for better. To think I was headed for Ireland which had very rainy weather even for the season. But here they have volcanos, the Stromboli also erupted today.

I manage one more day on the beach and then ride up to Noto for the Freddie Mercury tribute show. They did a very elaborate job in paying tribute, with parts of his real work on screen, parts performed live, and extra dancers. A David Bowie appearance singing Coming Home - major Tom was excellent.

One more of the delicious ricotta desert made with cinnamon and pistachios and the streets are full of people on this Saturday night. That's what the siesta is for and I got that in too.Leggi altro
