Having spent an entire day yesterday without internet, first this this morning I learned of a problem with a server that needed my opinion, so spent the time before breakfast looking into that. Happily not too complex to work around for now.
We’re docked again, no tenders, so we step off the ship into our only Italian day, the city of Syracuse looking very exciting before us. The city is the birthplace of Archimedes, but otherwise I have no expectations. What delights are in store!
Our planned walking route aims first for the northernmost area, where the archeological park is home to a Grecian Theatre of vast proportions, a grotto with huge caves, a temple and a Roman Theatre.
Starting Greek, there a whole team of builder stripping out the wooden temporary staging and seating that has been the host of a summer festival, so it’s not easy to see the actual ruin underneath but for once, I don’t mind, having seem numerous ruins in the last few days it makes a chainge to get a different perspective, yet is only temporary. Above the theatre is a string of caves which are most curious, including one where water ran from an aqueduct, now I suspect powered for show.
The grotto is properly called
