Siracusa is a beautiful old city with many charms. Certainly worth a visit if you are in the vicinity. We have decided to leave Moondance here for the winter for a variety of positive reasons. We are enjoying the ambience of the waterfront. Walking Ortiga - the old part of the city with its fascinating narrow streets, fountains, piazzas, and all. Visiting the Greek and Roman theatres, the cathedral Archimedes Fountain etc.

Peter and Nikki left to pursue property purchase in Malta. We will catch up with them again in a couple of weeks
Refugees. We have seen some evidence of refugees during our travels. In Samos there were many abandoned lifejackets at a point where there is only a mile between Turkey and Greece (EU), In Sicily the Guardia Costeria operate large vessels and in Cantania we were stopped from walking on the wharves as the authorities were processing African refugees. A bus load of refugees passed us.
Music It is rather surreal to be sitting on the waterfront listening to Lordes "Loyal" and Crowded House singing in Italian
