To Sicily: Drowsy dinner in Taormina
27/08/2015 Duration: 07minMark and I chatter on about this and that over our final meal in Taormina as I gradually fall asleep. Somehow we failed to mention how wonderful the food is at this establishment, rounding off The gastronomic aspects of our Sicilian adventure quite nicely. #sicily2015 #sicily #holiday #railway #train #journey #VisuallyImpaired #blind #independent #august #2015 #restaurant #dinner #taormina #jardine

To Sicily: A day in Paradise
27/08/2015 Duration: 08minSunbathing has never been one of my favourite activities, especially as I could probably hold the world record for burning. Having enjoyed a rather busy time on Sicily however, we felt a proper rest was in order before we flew back to the UK. Cue the Paradise Beach club with its swimming pool, sung loungers, and ready access to the sea. #sicily2015 #sicily #holiday #railway #train #journey #VisuallyImpaired #blind #independent #august #2015 #taormina #ParadiseBeach #relax #sun #swim #pool #beach #sea

To Sicily: Looking down on Taormina
27/08/2015 Duration: 07minFor my final independent outing of the trip I got up early and took a taxi further up the mountain to the little town of Castelmola, which sits at around 700 m above sea level, overlooking Taormina and the coast towards Catania. Arriving before 7 AM I had the whole place to myself as far as tourism went! #sicily2015 #sicily #holiday #railway #train #journey #VisuallyImpaired #blind #independent #august #2015 #taormina #castelmola #view #museum #castle #dawn

To Sicily: Four wheel drive coaches on Mount Etna
26/08/2015 Duration: 15minA ride on one of the four wheel drive coaches which ferry visitors from the top of Mount Etna's cablecar to just below 3000 metres. The vehicles are quite remarkable, tackling incredibly steep and rugged to rain with a compliment of 20 passengers or so on board. #sicily2015 #sicily #holiday #railway #train #journey #VisuallyImpaired #blind #independent #august #2015 #etna #bus #coach #cablecar #4wd #FourWheelDrive #volcano #Davide #ContinentSicilia #guide #tour

To Sisily: Mount Etna - a very active volcano
26/08/2015 Duration: 06minStanding at almost 3000 metres above sea level Davide of Continent Sicilia tells Mark and I about some of the volcanic features around us.

To Sicily: Limping down steps
26/08/2015 Duration: 07minI return from my first morning walk in Taormina by limping down the steps next to our hotel, having had an altercation with a metal bench and lost.

To Sicily: Walking to dinner
24/08/2015 Duration: 13minThe streets of Altigia are tricky enough with my limited daytime vision but navigating them at night with much greater reliance on the long cane is a whole different game. #sicily2015 #sicily #holiday #railway #train #journey #VisuallyImpaired #blind #independent #august #2015 #siracusa #syracuse #altigia #night #cane #mobility
