Haven't written down the other stuff on the computer yet, but i'm uploading the stuff we did day 2-3 :P

Saturday July 3rdDay 2

First morning and also first breakfast. We didn’t quite know what to expect and we didn’t get what we expected.One cake/Croissant/Bun/ You get the picture.Aaaaand….A drink, Coffee/Juice/TeaWe we’re like, where’s the rest? Breakfast service included. Where’s the breakfast?? This is like a coffee break. At least my Cappuccino was nice.
Since you can’t drink the tap water we had to find a supermarket to buy some bottled water and some fruit. We eventually found a supermarket, but no fruit there, only “fizzy bottled lemon water”. As it turned out, finding somewhere to buy fruit isn’t as easy as you’d think. There weren’t a lot of people who understood English, or if they knew some English it was very basic. So I got Linda to talk to the Italians ‘cause most of the time they didn’t understand what I was saying anyway. I think we must have asked at least 3 people including a policeman, but we finally found a little fruit shop with some delicious nectarines. Everything we needed in hand, we made our way back to the B&B to get ready for the beach! Imagine our surprise when our water turned out to be lemonade!! Linda wasn’t too happy, she’s all about healthy eating. But I didn’t mind.
The weather was gorgeous all day, so much sunbathing was accomplished. Lovely! Linda wanted me to sunbathe topless with her, but I was skeptical because as soon as she took her bikini top off, loads of men kept looking our way -.- Gross! We left the beach around 4ish to change and hang up our wet stuff.
While we were eating at the restaurant yesterday we saw a sign for cone pizzas. Some weird “On the go” invention we thought we’d try. They were ok, cold in the middle though.. And screamed of processed food :P
After a short walk we had some really really nice ice-cream (CHOCOLATE!)

Sunday July 4thDay 3

Breakfast: Greasy toasted sandwich + CappuccinoEzio our innkeeper told us about an old village on top of a nearby mountain, that’s nice to visit. He gave us a lift to the cable car station, which was nice of him cause it would have taken an hour to walk :P It cost €6 return so not too bad. The village was very nice and serene. There were two towers and a castle right at the very top and on the edge of a cliff. On the way back down two men asked us to take their picture. We obliged and then they took a picture for us. They also asked if we’d like to join them for dinner which we politely declined ;) We took the cable car back down and started to walk back to the B&B. Thankfully Ezio picked us up half way back. Linda’s thighs were chafing in the heat! (I was smart, I wore shorts!) Ezio tipped us about a different beach, so we tried it out. It was very nice, and the water was a lot clearer, more fish and nicer sand. Linda was still going topless so I thought “It won’t hurt, might be nice to get rid of my tan lines”. Nobody seemed to take any offence so all good. Since we hadn’t eaten any meat since we’d arrived, Linda really wanted some. We found a cool/retro/trendy/café/restraint/bar/bookshop that served meat at not too high a price (we thought). I ordered chicken but got fish, didn’t realize until I’d bitten into it. I just thought whatever, I’ve already started. All in all overpriced for the quality and quantity. Music was good though, pop, punk and rock songs converted to jazz :D

Work

I've been working my butt off haha :P haven't had time to write, but I've written down some if the things we did in Sicily in word so I'll upload the first couple of days tonight. And maybe upload some pics.

Josh started work yesterday which he thought went well. He said the time web quite slowly though because most of the oldies can't talk or walk.

Tomorrow victor and I are going to Linköping to stay in my flat until Sunday morning. Then were going to visit his cousin in Skövde. :)
