This was the most significant journey i've undertaken. I cant even express just how overwhelming it was. I finally convinced my parents to come to Europe so that my mum could come with me to Italy to meet our relatives and retrace the footsteps of my grandparents. It was an epic, highly emotional journey full of fantastic food, beautifully warm-hearted people, a rich history and some amazing scenery.

Sunny side up!

September 12, 2007

the 2nd best pizza ever

After the emotional experience of Calabria we needed a break so it was off to the gorgeous seaside town of Taormina on the south east coast of Sicily.

It was a good choice!

A very beautiful, relaxing place.

Plenty of fantastic food and the beaches were superb!

Unfortunately it's a very 'romantic' location so is full of honeymooners and old american and english couples.

Regardless, my parents deserved the break and it was a place unlike any of us had seen before.

The Greek Ampitheatre was pretty cool. We walked the main street and checked out all the shops. I wanted to check out Mt Etna but the trips take a whole day and I was due to fly out to Hamburg for the Australian Football championships in a day so it was time to gormandise as much pizza, pasta and gelati as I could for the time being.

I left Italy with a drooling apetite to sample and experience more of my now slightly familiar motherland.

I'll be back as soon as I can!
