Sicilian on your browser and RAIN (continued, part 2) Passing along this road for quite a long distance, I suddenly began to lose meaning. I wanted to go on the freeway. She was supposed to be somewhere nearby, but clever, who collected our satellite navigator, were not agree with me. I began to look for small green signs, which indicate the approach to the freeway, and - dammit (!) - I saw first one and then another and another and another. We got on the freeway, on which our navigator had no idea. "Unroll, when there will be an opportunity" - yeah, sure! On the freeway, we drove about 10 kilometers, then we had to move out from it to get to Taormina. With my newly acquired skills to shoot down the side mirrors of parked cars, as well as their scratching, Taormina afraid I was not going to. I coped with driving on the "excellent", if I can appreciate how I coped. And then we started to climb the mountain. We are looking for a tent camp on a hillside. We all rose, rose, rose, until I really had not bothered. However, this was not enough. Way back was not here, so we had to climb further. In the end, I finally found a place to turn, and we began to descend. As it turned out, we stopped near a large camp, where he had to travel on foot, but you probably already guessed this. That way street! Now we really need to find some camp. Navigator, is still engaged in this nonsense, he sent us somewhere up the road. Well, it's just a navigator could call dear is the "direction". There's just enough space that the car could pass. "The Road" wound up about 435 meters, and disappeared. No camp was not there. Maybe once was, but now was not. We had to get out there, but I could not turn around, there was no room, so we had to include a reverse gear. It was certainly fun, but the one who came up with the set of edges of the road large terracotta pots are just the width of the Citroen C3, should be very upset. Old olive tree We were suppressed, but not yet broken. I asked the navigator to find us another camp. On the map there was nothing, our Italian guide offers a few places, but they are either no longer exist or have been camping. Calmed down a little, I thought about how to throw our navigator. He sent us to three different addresses. One of the camps was long closed. At that point I started thinking about a normal hotel bed, which in our financial plan was not relevant items of expenditure, but we did not give up so easy, right? Here is here, we had an adventure in Taormina. Generally, it's pretty sweet spot. Beautiful mountains, well-kept old town, built on a hillside, a wonderful bay with fashionable yachts, cobblestone streets and beautifully dressed people, who observe other nicely dressed people. Castle near the town did not make much impression, but I'm sure many would find it interesting. I sent the car towards the motorway, which turned to the town of Maskaev. Roads are "so-so, but I really got used to them and sometimes they even liked me. We stayed at the Maskaev, because there we found several campgrounds. He was not far from Catania, Taormina, but before it was still pretty far away. Three great camps, all were open. How do you? I suspect this is due to the fact that the land around Maskaev is not as expensive as in the area of ??Taormina. Especially because not even extol the camp where we stayed - it was called the "Macomb" - but, although he was a little shabby, we were told that there was wireless internet access (he once was, but ...). Fishing boats the way, let's talk about the Internet. Italians are actively using them. I think most go into a worldwide network of homes. I thought that in places where many foreign tourists come, there are internet cafes or wireless internet spots. We were told that in Europe, mostly in good campgrounds have wireless internet. We also found that the Internet is only a few of them. Internet is useful for communication, it is understandable, but for us it is more important. Heavy guides carry with them uncomfortable. For a fee, you can download a chapter guide "Lonely Planet" - and we did - but the "Lonely Planet" with all its benefits are not always suited us. On the internet we can see what camps and hotels are there, where are we going to get more information about what is happening in the country through which we travel. In addition, the network can easily find a variety of statistical information on population, average wage, the time of school holidays, the ways of agricultural production and to learn about what local people expect from the visitors. Learning more about the country, we have a desire to stay in it longer. And for a good source of information, we are certainly willing to pay. The only explanation for the lack of public wireless Internet can only be what the Italians are afraid that they will take advantage of the terrorists, and this is the only way to stop them. To gain access to the internet, have someone present their papers. This can be a passport or driver's license with a photograph of the owner. If you have a cell phone, and he will do. In some bars, cafes and shopping centers can give your number, and you will be sent your user name and password. In other countries too have a similar system, but after a visit to Africa, where no one, no one asks any documents, it's all a bit strange. You can certainly question the effectiveness of such a system, which has lots of loopholes for those who do not want to identify their identity. Although it should be, it was created for people to think that their government is engaged in security issues. Start material: Read more:
