Sicily for Montalbano Fans


I was sad to see the end of the current series of Inspector Montalbano last night. It fast became one of our favourite weekend programmes. Apart from the lovely setting of Sicily, and Montalbano's home by the sea allowing him a daily swim, the characters are fun and each has his little quirks. How good to see the cute Fazio finally get the girl.


So for all fans who might have to wait some time before another series, here are a few photos I took in Taormina, one of Sicily's popular tourist attractions. We visited a couple of times from cruise ships and, once the taxi negotiated the steep, winding road to the hill-top village, we could have stayed longer than a few hours. It has a mix of Roman and Greek influences and plays are still performed in the little Greek theatre. Mount Etna is visible from certain view points - you can just see it faintly in the background here.


Think we need another visit soon!
