Another day of beautiful weather.

We sailed into the dock just after sunrise and the 13th century Castello Maniace citadel that guards the approach was illuminated nicely.

The citadel is an impressive structure and dominates the headland. Unfortunately we couldn’t see inside as there is restoration work happening.

We went ashore around 10am and the weather was perfect – sunny and mid 20s. We spent a couple of hours walking around. The old part of town, on the island of Ortygia, is very picturesque. Fortunately the tourist numbers were less than we have previously encountered.

We came across a shop specialising in fish related art.

Other things that caught my eye

I spotted two towels hanging out to dry on a balcony which made a very interesting composition.
