Day 36 - Syracuse - July 2

Heading for Syracuse, Ortigia today.
On the way we saw Mt Etna erupting, as usual. 
We had great plans to visit swimming holes along the way but due to the unseasonable 32° we didn't feel like the walk they entailed so we drove straight to Syracuse - Ortigia.
We love the island! Very few people and lots of little restaurants and classic building. Wonderful.  
 View of the water from where we had arancini for lunch at the place next door to Angelina's Panini Siciliani owned by the same people.
 Duomo of Syracuse.
Municipal building.
 Street view.
Discovered arancini! Yum. Take away dinner from Taverna Giudecca Ortigia about 10 steps from our door followed by ice cream for dessert. 
Our apartment, la via della Giudecca, thanks to Cressida, is fabulous!
