A few random pics from our trip to Sicily. Thanks to my colleague Vibeke we had a great basecamp at her apartment in Syracuse/Ortigia.
 |
| View from Vibeke's terrace. Once a week this big cruise ship (MSC Divina) lands in the local port, injecting >4000 tourists into the old town of Ortigia just for a few hours. |
 |
| Ortigia promenade was great for Lukas, as it has lot of space for running around |
 |
| Food market on Ortigia. This old man was not happy when I tried to pay accidently by Norwegian money. |
 |
| One of several luxury yachts along the promenade |
 |
| local art |
 |
| Archimedes lived in the town |
 |
| The Church of the Madonna of Tears is 90 metres high and it is the tallest building in Syracuse |
 |
| and here from its inside |
 |
| Archimedes himself |
 |
| Paninoteca sandwiches, very good and cheap local street food |
 |
| balconies... |
 |
| Castello Maniace on Ortigia from inside |
 |
| and from the sea |
 |
| One hour round boat trip around Ortigia and nearby caves - very nice evening experience |
 |
| food was amazing almost everywhere. This is tartare from tuna, strawberries and capari |
 |
| Town of Noto. It was too hot to be there... |
 |
| and the beach was much better alternative. Find a clean public beach without sea weed is important task during holiday. This one was the best - Marchesa di Cassibile |
