| Denise, Michael, Steve and Linda join Inight's Country Roads of Southern Italy and Sicily tour on Saturday 26 September 2009. As we arrive in Rome late in the afternoon we stay close to the hotel and meet the rest of the tour group for welcome drinks. Day two we set off for Alberobello where we see the Trulli houses - Truly amazing! In the evening we skip the optional dinner and make our way to the centre of town where a festival is in full swing. We have a lovely dinner in the town square under the lights for a quarter the price of the optional. The next day we take the optional tour to the white washed town of Ostuni. On day four we travel to Matera to see the 'Sassi' and make our way down the narrow streets past the houses and churches dug out of the rock. The trip down the coast is long and the hotels are average but we enjoyed the sights. The ferry crossing to Sicily is short. On arrival in Messina the bus struggles to pass the cars whose drivers had chosen to stop in any fashion. At one stage several of the tour group males got off with the bus driver to lift a car into a parking space. We are soon transfered to small mini buses to make the steep climb to Taormina. A lovely town with panoramic views. This message has been edited. Last edited by: LindaA, |
