I know, we are surrounded by spectacular views of the aqua blue sea, stunning rock formations, vineyards, lush gardens, lovely Italian villas ... and here we send you, what we think is a delightful shot of the cutest cars in the world! We saw these parked just outside a small farm house along a road on Lipari, the sounds of chickens and a lively rooster in the background! We are still enjoying the scooter as we find little pathways (at times quite steep) to explore, and are always rewarded with true Italian beauty!
The weather today was too rough to go to Salina island by boat. We were however, still able to go around the southern coast of Lipari, see the grotto and peaks that we hoped to see (because we had seen them from various lookout points we'd been to previously). The boat also headed towards Volcano where it was safer to go on these choppy waters. The boat stopped at a little cove near Volcano island where a few of us could go for a swim! I dove in as well, not wanting to miss a chance to swim in waters that seemed safe from jelly fish. Then we stopped to let the boat group off at Volcano. Since we had already seen Volcano island yesterday, we didn't need to stop there again and so went back to Lipari with the little boat, the two of us left with the small crew of 3. We felt like we had a personal boat tour, with the whole thing to ourselves! See the photo in the collection below of Deb which was taken as we were arriving back to the dock in Lipari.
It's been on and off rain all day so far and the grey clouds are floating in again as I write. We got soaked on the scooter going into town, then the sun would come out with blue skies, big white clouds but still rough water and now the clouds are rolling in again! True island weather!!
