SICILIA VI – CAPO D’ORLANDO
After the volcano experience, we didn’t really have a plan on where to go next on the island. On the way out we pulled over and asked an old man for directions and he told us we should head north to Brolo instead of another beach we were intending to visit. The guy was so certain it was the best place to go, he almost offered us the keys to his holiday house free of charge. Instead he gave us the name of a place where we should inform them “The Count” sent us, and we would be hooked up. Mafia 2010. Sicily was great in that sense, anytime we stopped and asked for directions or help, people were more than happy to talk to us and make sure we found the best places. These conversations usually ended up being 20 minutes long with every person within a 100 metre radius joining in. But i’m just a dumb westerner who speaks one language so i’d just smile, nod and pretend to understand what was going on whilst Laura hooked everything up. Mona. We didn’t end up staying in Brolo but we found a nice little place a little further West, around the corner from Capo D’orlando, San Gregorino i think it was. Once again we only found our apartment by stopping and asking some old women sitting on their porch at the last minute. They hooked us up with a huge three bedroom apartment with a balcony right across from the sea for the night. It would have been great to spend a few more nights here, as it was such a beautiful and quiet beach…even if the apartment itself was a little creepy when we came back late at night!
Not a bad view.
