Hello from Sicily: Farewell Taormina, Hello Milazzo!
My final day in Taormina began early as I packed my suitcase, preparing to move to the city of Milazzo. I savored a last breakfast on the beautiful terrace of Hotel Villa Nettuno, my home for the past week. Memories of yesterday’s hike up Mount Etna filled my mind as I gazed over the enchanting Ionian Sea. I promised myself I’d return to this stunning place one day.
Classes started with Carlo, our witty language teacher, delving into Italian pronouns. Later, Simona led us in listening exercises with a real-life Italian call-in show. We discussed personal fears and phobias, picking questions from a stack of cards to enhance our Italian skills. The lively discussion gave everyone a chance to express their ideas.
After taking photos with classmates and teachers, I visited the Babilonia Language School office to bid farewell to Alessandro and his team. Their support had been incredible, and my Italian had improved to an intermediate level. Our excursions?"from hiking in Castelmola to cultural visits in Siracusa?"brimmed with learning and friendship.
Joining two friends, Jill from the UK and Connie from Switzerland, we strolled to Panoramic Bella Blu, a restaurant with breathtaking Mediterranean views, for a late lunch. I then headed to the bus station for my journey to Milazzo.
Before leaving, I returned to Hotel Villa Nettuno to capture final photos of its charming garden. The Tempietto, a lookout with expansive sea views, was a perfect farewell spot. Vincenzo Sciglio, the patriarch, promised to show me his family’s vineyard on my next visit, where he makes wine the traditional way?"by stomping grapes with his feet.
Although leaving Taormina was bittersweet, I looked forward to my next adventure: a sailing trip around the striking Eolian Islands with Laboratorio Linguistico in Milazzo.
After a brief bus ride, I reached the Taormina-Giardini Naxos train station, where I waited for a sleek, modern commuter train. Onboard, some lively teenagers played music while a local security guard named Giorgio shared stories about his job at Taormina’s Greek Theatre and life with his family.
Giorgio mentioned the unusual spring weather and commented on climate changes, saying the past few years had been unusual. As he left, I reflected on my enriching week in Italy and the upcoming sailing trip. I felt a mix of anticipation and apprehension, hoping for good company on the boat.
Changing trains in Messina, I arrived in Milazzo around 9 pm. Francesca, the language school co-owner’s wife, kindly picked me up and took me to a cozy apartment. There, I met Claudia, my new travel companion and a Lufthansa flight attendant.
Venturing out for a late-night meal, I found a local restaurant where I enjoyed a delicious salad at a much more affordable price than in Taormina. Back at the apartment, I met Laboratorio Linguistico teachers Jean-Claude from Ireland and Franco, an Italian co-owner. We planned to meet at 9:30 am the next morning for our sailing adventure.
Exhausted but exhilarated, I fell into bed, eager for the experiences the upcoming week would bring.
