After the 'low point' of yesterday afternoon, today a top ride with lovely weather, great route, view of Etna with snow-capped peak, nice terraces, lots of palm trees, plantations with beautiful (derelict) country houses, beautiful fishing village (Aci Castello) and as icing on the cake a 'real bike path' the last 5 km 😎.
Nice to be back in Catania …
