With charlie (my flatmate) off seeing how long it takes to walk to the next town,Giardini Naxos, I am here checking out the world news and catching up, whilst trying to dodge Heroes spoilers. So far having a great time, actually. I always feel guilty that I 'm somehow not doing enough stuff on holiday and this is sort of no exception but other than that, it isn't too bad. Highlight has been seeing the lovely fiorediloto and her friends whom I hope to see later in the week too. Especially for the mushroom & honey festival on sunday.
/>The hotel is fantastic - like a relic from a bygone age. If it was a person, it would be Norma Desmond. Giant candelabra and chandeliers mix in with faded yet scrupulously clean fixtures and fittings. And the view is stunning - sea on one side, mount etna on the other. Also, there are little stray cats that get fed by the hotel staff and this makes me miss my own cat that little bit less.
/>Hope everyone is well!
