Traveling in Italy is an adventure to be certain. The funny thing about traveling in Italy is that you can never really expect things to run as planned. When we left Chioggia we thought we had everything all planned out. Flight booked, rental car reserved. No problems right? Well... not exactly. When reserving our rental car the print read (in english): 'Your car has been reserved, use this print out as verification of reservation'. We get to the rental office to find out that that little one line of print in Italian on the bottom of the page says that there was an error and the car has not been reserved. What? And, surprise surprise, there are no other cars left to book. Awesome. Luckily I got to work on my newly acquired phrase, parla inglese? as I spoke to just about every rental office at the airport. Eventually we did get a car and were off on the whirl wind tour of Sicily.
We headed east to Scopello. This little town was pretty darn adorable, nestled on a hill above the coastline. Our first day was a bit overcast and rainy, but beautiful and full of character. This shot is taken looking out to sea from at an old tuna fishery turned hotel. The water was so refreshing, a perfect spot for our first dip in the Tyrrhenian Sea. After a swim we decided to walk back up the hill for dinner when a thunderstorm let loose and the clouds began to bucket rain on us. Lucky for us, the local dive crew saw us scampering up the hill and came to our rescue. Before leaving Chioggia Davide told me that Sicilians were nice. He told me how they they go out of their way to help perfect strangers. It didn't even take me an entire day in Sicily to know exactly what he was talking about.
