Paris to Catania, Sicily - Saturday 17 June

Woke up at 9am and had breakfast in the hotel. Then headed to a nearby cafe and did some work.

EUR4.50 for an espresso is a bit expensive but I am staying in the fancy part of Paris!

Then back to the hotel to shower and pack. Checked out at 12 noon and booked Uber for 1pm. Had an hour to kill so went for a walk in a different direction and had a juice at a creperie.

Back to the hotel for Uber to the airport. Charles de Gaulle is a massive airport, broken into many terminals. So it was actually an easy process for bag drop and security check. The flight was Air France at 4pm. I think HOP is their regional arm. The flight was fine.

Mount Etna...

Arrived in Catania and got taxi to the apartment. Nice room in a central location. It was called Ferrini Home - via Monte Sant'Agata and was EUR105 per night.

Went for a walk. It's Saturnday night and very busy. This is Piazza Universita...

Piazza del Duomo...

Basilica Cattedrale di Sant'Agata...

I liked the look of this buidling. Ursino Castle built in the thirtenth century...

First meal in Italy!

Back to apartment and crashed.
