Vacanta in Sicilia

Vacanta in Sicilia

Am revenit cu poze din vacanta din Sicilia. Sper sa va dea o stare de bine si sa va determine sa treceti Sicilia pe lista detinatiilor de vacanta din viitorul apropiat. E o zona a Italiei absolut minunata, cu o multime de orase micute ce merita vizitate, cu oameni extrem de pritenosi si deschisi la vorba – mai mult in italiana, mai putin in engleza, cu mancare dementiala si cu peisaje atat de frumoase, incat m-am intrebat de mai multe ori oare de ce am ajuns abia acum pentru prima oara in Sicilia. Cu siguranta vom reveni.

EN: I am back with pictures from Sicily. I hope they will give you a good vibe and make you put Sicily in your upcoming travel plans. It’s an absolutely wonderful area of Italy, with lots of little towns worth visiting, with extremely friendly and open people- especially in Italian, not so much in English, with awesome food and such beautiful scenery, that I have asked myself multiple times how come we just got here for the first time. Surely we’ll come back again.

Mai sus aveti imagini din Siracuza, unul dintre cele mai frumoase orase ale insulei. Apar si 3 imagini de la cea mai inedita cazare pe care am rezervat-o vreodata prin airbnb – o vinarie veche – dar si una dintre cele mai ieftine, contrat asteptarilor! O veti putea vedea in detaliu intr-un viitor episod de vlog Brambura prin Lume.

Urmeaza o serie de fotografie de pe Etna. Am ales un traseu usor pe vulcan, pe care in mod normal il faci in 15 minute. La inceput Vlad era extrem de determinat sa ajunga pana la crater, era atent pe unde pasea si ma incuraja sa cred ca – iata – am ajuns la etapa in care copilul poate parcurge cu noi trasee usoare de munte. Dar s-a terminat cu un Vlad carat pe rand cand de mine, cand de Radu, de ni se parea amandurora ca urcam Everestul nu alta….

Iar pozele de la mare sunt din orasul Taormina. In spatele meu se zareste Isola Bella, despartita de continent printr-o fasie ingusta de nisip, foarte usor de strabatut. Acolo ne-a prins apusul. L-am luat pe Vlad in brate, ne-am uitat amandoi inspre mare, niciunul nu vorbea, ascultam pescarusii, cand el imi spune: “Mama, asta e un moment d-ala de liniste despre care am citit in cartea ta, e un moment hygge!” Si chiar hygge curat era.

Cand o sa mi se faca dor de Sicilia, o sa ma intorc la postarea asta. Asa am facut cu toate postarile de travel – cand mi se face dor de Thailanda, de India, de Cambodgia… dau cautare numele destinatiei pe blog si revad fotografiile, fie ca sunt in uber, in pauzele de repetitii la teatru sau noapte in pat, inainte de culcare – ca acum. Cat de curand o sa urc pe blog si restul de poze din vacanta, ca sa va pot povesti despre tot traseul nostru in Sicilia.

EN: Above you can see pictures from Siracuza, one of the most beautiful towns of the island. There are also 3 images from the most spectacular accommodation we booked on Airbnb- an old vineyard- but also one of the cheapest, against all expectations! You can see in detail in a future vlog episode of Brambura around the World.

I have an upcoming set of pictures from Etna. We chose an easy path up the volcano, which you normally take in 15 minutes. At first Vlad was very determined to get to the crater, he was careful where he was stepping and he encouraged me to believe that – here we are- at that stage where the child can go on short hikes up the mountain. But it all ended with Vlad being carried by me and then by Radu, it almost felt like climbing the Everest.

And the pictures from the seaside are in the city of Taormina. Behind me you can see Isola Bella, divided from the continent through a narrow strip of sand, very easy to walk on. That’s where we saw the sunset. I was holding Vlad, we were both looking towards the sea, none of us was talking, we were listening to the seagulls, when he says to me: “Mum, this one of those quiet moments we read about in your book, a hygge moment!” And that’s exactly what it was.

When I will miss Sicily, I will read this post again. That’s what I did with all my travel posts- when I miss Thailand, India, Cambodia… I just search for the destination on the blog and I look at the pictures again, whether I am in an Uber, on a break from theatre rehearsals or in bed at night, before falling asleep- like I am now. I will upload the rest of the pictures from vacation, so I can tell you about our entire itinerary in Sicily.
