Tuesday 20.05.14

Made it: negotiated trains and metros to arrive in Syracuse by Sunday via Milan and Naples and yes they do put the train on the ferry oh all yea of little faith out there. By rattly train this morning to Modica with stopover in Noto. Warm evening, hundreds of martins and swallows zooming overhead, purchase of local cheese,bread, ham, olives, cherries, apricots and chocolate to be consumed back at excellent lodgings * with a glass or three of the local wine. And to top it all, Modica has an amazingly good bookshop. A hard act to follow.
