An escapade in Sicily
Food experiment Sep 1, 2009 The Waffle 1 Comment Malta being very close to Sicily, we had to take the opporunity to visit the Italian island. It was easy enough to do, since Virtu Ferries Ltd. is offering a regular route from Valletta to Pozzallo or Catania. We decided to take a package which included transport from Pozzallo to Taormina to Mount Etna before coming back to Pozzallo for our return to Valletta, for a little over 100€. The Maria Dolores departed from Valletta around 7 am. It takes about 90 minutes to sail on the Mediterranean Sea all the way to Sicily. The sea was calm, the Catamaran was fast. Impressive. Not so impressive was the movie they played en route… Our first stop was in Pozzallo, a major port in Sicily with magnificient beaches. As it was still early, the whole group went for breakfast at La Perla, a Pasticceria on Via…
