Aeolian Islands Sicily

So at the end of the holidays we set off for a sailing adventure with Leslie, Guisseppi,  and the skipper Tommaso. The islands are situated on the north west corner of Sicily, the water is clear blue, and the area is steeped in Greek, Roman and Etruscan history. The islands have a couple of major volcanoes, Stromboli, Vulcano. The main towns, islands are Lipari,  which has a terrific archaelogical museum, Salina where Il Postino was filmed is also amazing. We sailed around, and either stayed the nights in ports or in the harbours, as the weather turned nasty for a few days, and it was simpler being in harbour to visit the towns and get dinner. Hunter fished all the time, along with Ewan they would have a line out as we sailed along, sadly though the water was beautiful, we caught nothing. Jayne and leslie played bananagrams, and the boys all played a card game in italian, that l just watched.
Tommaso was great with the boys as was Guieseppi, and the boys had a great time. This area is well worth going to and sailing about, the beauty, history and food is brilliant.
