We had to drive the car from Masseria La Chuisa to Catania Airport to send the car . That was a 3 hr drive which was fine . Then we took a bus ( inter-bus , name of the company ) to Siracusa . The fare was €6.20  each for suppose to be 55 minutes journey . Bus was late so driver drove like a maniac !! He overtook cars in tunnels !! Geez

Got rip-off by taxi at bus station because it was such a short journey from bus station to accomodation , paid €20. However, the thought of lugging heavy  luggage and a bag full of leftover food is not appealing !

Then after organic market and putting away all the food . We took a talk to Ortigia which is crossed over by a bridge as Ortigia is an island.

Siracusa ( Syracuse) was a Greek settlement  from 734BC before the Romans came in 212 BC after a siege . The word Ortigiao is a greek word meaning quail . Siracusa ( Syracuse) was also home to the Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes who lived through this turbulent period and died during the Roman conquest . To be honest , we walked according to a written guide by the accomodation owner so we started from the Temple of Apollo to the headland of Ortigia .

We continue with our walk to Arethusa fountain which is a freshwater spring that flows naturally just a few meters from the sea .

It was a lovely day around 22c , not too hot. From Arethusa Fountain , we walked to the headland which is the end of Ortigia .

We sat on a bench for sometime to watch the sunset around 6.22 pm. After that, we walked back and got to the halal butcher to get some meat & chicken to cook .Had beef curry with my last packet of Bahms Kari Daging haha and salad with tomatoes yummy !
