In Pozzallo, Sicily today. Going to take the ferry back to Malta in a few hours, then tomorrow at 4 am we catch our plane back home. Spent a few days in Syracuse (Siracusa) which was the center of civilization 2000 years ago. Saw some old Greek ruins and in theory walked the same streets as Plato. After we left Istanbul we spent a day in Gozo, the quiet sleepy Maltese island. Then we barely caught the boat to Sicily in time (we turned up five minutes before the boat left). That day we went to 3 countries. A new record. Italy has been fun, I would like to see more of Sicily - Mt Etna, Palermo, Taormina. But its been a fun couple of days and I've learned a few phrases of Italian. Anyway, kind of tired today becuase I took some Dramamine (Xamamina) for the bus ride here, and going to take more for the boat ride back to Malta. I barely made those trips coming here without getting sick. I've gotten Nathan totally hooked on Su Doku puzzles.
