Taormina .... again and the weather is stunning, Etna is steaming and there is still snow on the slopes. Everthing is so green and fresh lookin and there are lots of flowers everywhere, wild flowers, particularly poppies . We drove across from Cefalu yesterday, first along the now completed autostrada over the incredibly high bridges that we saw under construction in 2001. We left the coast near Capo Orlando and took a very windy road through Novarra in Sicilia - a gorgeous town where we had a picnic lunch on the terrace overlooking the valley.
We are staying in the same place as in 2001 but it has been renovated and is much better even than before. We have been to the Teatro Greco this am and had an obligatory gelato, but we need to find some food for lunch so we can have a picnic on the private terrace outside the Maltbys room!!
