There was some time left, after running the PB-Marathon before we had to return to Basel. So we had a look at our dream cars and bikes at the BMW World. My Mom actually owned one of these little blue ones, called the BMW Isetta. Lingga looks great in the Z4, how about her on the bike? Of course, I had to dream for a few seconds riding a bike again. Exploring the world…

With EasyJet, it’s so easy to reach many destinations in Europe. This time, we headed for one week (15-22 September) to Sicily. Traveling in Sicily with bus (Etnatrasporti) was very convenient and we also ventured with the train. The route goes along the coast, from Palermo to Messina to Taormina – wonderful sea view. While overnighting in Siracusa, we had an excursion to Noto; a neat Baroque town. This is a place to be during Semana Santa as they decorate a street with paintings made of flowers. We loved Palermo! We would recommend the B&B Gran Maestro to stay and eating at Ferro di Cavallo is a must. The pasta and seafood were incredible. It is a place where the locals eat… hard to believe, a great plate of pasta for 5 euro and 6 tiger prawn for 8 euro? Yes… this is the true local eatery (don’t forget to reserve your table as the line can get very long, even on weekdays).
As a break from enjoying the sea, the statue, and the history, we got fascinated watching couples got married! We acted as if we were invited and took pictures of them as they walked in front of the church. In Messina, Lingga got mesmerized by the train crossing to the mainland Italy in a ferry. We watched the operation until the police told us to leave 🙂 Taormina, while very touristy, has a great view and very charming. We wanted to do Godfather tour in the classic Fiat 500. But time was limited and we decided to go 3350 m (10’991 ft) Etna instead – the highest active volcano in Europe. After Etna, we jumped back on the bus and went to Catania. The Duomo area is a place to hang out and near the park, there are local seafood restaurants. A week flew by too quickly ……
