Hi All!

Did you miss us yesterday? Well, it was a non-eventful day into Lentini. But we did have a really nice B&B with very friendly hosts! The interior of the church/Duomo was spectacular!

This morning we said 'arrivederci' to our hosts and headed up the hill behind Lentini with cars following patiently in our flashing tail-lights! Soon we were on a quiet provincial road climbing slowly to 440m into the lovely town of Sortino!

We stopped for a coffee and the most delicious pastries ... and Marion had multiple conversations with the locals in Italian to everyone's great pleasure!

Then .. down down down on a tiny little road exceeding 20% on sharp switchbacks into the gorge below! Everyone kept looking at me with eyes that said 'I hope you are right about this route'! As it turns out, today I was right!

What a great ride into Siracusa and what a great apartment we have for 2 nights!

Tomorrow a day off to be a tourist!

Cheers!

Harold and Marion
