Sicilian FROM NAVIGATOR AND RAIN David and Patricia, Australia we are generally not going to rush under full sail to Sicily, but after we left town Metapunto, which is located to the west of the city of Taranto, which we thought on the southern coast, we stayed long enough, and it's time to continue the journey. We drove on the freeway and headed west. A few words on the freeways. I do not know who invented the viaducts, but I know that the Romans used them extensively, and greatly excelled in their construction. Freeway is all over Western and even Eastern Europe, but they always have different names, but only the Italians in the south had to show all his ingenuity in their construction. Some bridges that pass over the valleys become a real masterpiece of engineering. They are very high, and below them are the towns and villages. From the aircraft such a spectacle to watch - a pleasure, but from the "Citroen C3" - as something scary. Freeway Once you get to the west coast, you will immediately find yourself in a zone of building a new freeway. For the most part, this is reflected in a significant slowing of movement, have to move one lane and crawl so for quite some time. All this is very tiring, but it is clear that even in such conditions on the freeway can move faster than the roads, which could be seen far down in the valleys. Decision to go to Villa San Giovanni city was taken for the simple reason that this place seemed to be most close to Sicily. We have made inquiries through the Internet, but we managed to find not so much as one would like. Satellite Navigator brought us straight to the ferry terminal. After some time, we already knew that in order to get to Sicily, we need 25 minutes and 32 euros. And we hit the road. The road to the sea Plan, if we imagine that it we had, was whether to go to the southern coast, but at the same time, trying not to move down the freeway and stop off in the village until Taormina, which is considered the main tourist resort island. We did not care to travel, but we know that this is a totally unique kind of people they aspire to those places which are usually worth a visit. We are also a little "tricky", and therefore concluded that since there will be tourists, it's quite possible there will be open and tent camps, despite the fact that now only the beginning of the season. It was not a bad plan. In something more, something less elaborate than others, but we have made it their own logic and experience. Rainbow on the happiness of Satellite Navigator gradually developed his own character. I know that this is just an electronic device that does just what he ordered, and that it laid the developers, but we have evidence that it has its own character. And this character is far from sugar. Device "showed character," when our car rolled through the southern part of the island, sometimes I will go off the road to admire the views, and ignoring the instructions of "electronic monster." We got to Messina, a large industrial city and port. Not the best place for tourists. Navigator took us through the city without any "hysteria". True, he once advised us to go on one-way street, but not in the direction in which movement is permitted. Then we drove on the freeway, which was to take us to Taormina. But then he turned to her. Do you wonder why? We, too, was interesting. And as we were back on the road? How to get back on track, which is not on the map, but you can see from the car window? Yes, it is not easy. Most of the way from Messina to Taormina we have done along the SS166. By the way, she changed her name several times, half of these names, I am more than sure it rewarded drivers who traveled through it before us. The road passes through a small pretty village, which is located on a very narrow strip of land between mountains and sea. I should note that there were only cute the first few villages, others were already so-so. Basically it is a negative impression has arisen because we had to move at slow speed. It was a necessary measure. We just did not want to crash into parked cars, and high curb. Another town on the calls on a cell phone I have not posted for some time without even talking. With his companion, too, I never said that. I never even leaned toward her to kiss her, because we were moving along the road, which leaves us with only 5 inches on each side of the car. Other drivers were not the same restraint as I am. I do not know how I did not hit a parked car or truck, as well as knocked a cyclist or some old lady, I still do not understand, but we went along mile after mile, no one was knocking and knocking. At least so we thought. One time we heard a dull metallic sound. We both felt that we are into something moved. It was not such a sound when scratching someone's car, but he still was some metal. By car, there were no markings. In general. The only thing that could explain such a sound, this is what we moved to some children. I thought so, fortunately, only a thought. Read more:
