Day 2 of 10 Syracusa UPDATED

So now it’s daylight…. the hotel..

Winston Churchill stayed here apparently 😊
Tiramasu for breakfast anyone!

Didn’t want to get up this morning 😫

It’s going to be a good day so will be back later with photos😍

So today we went to Siracuse not with a ‘y’ and Ortigia which I think is an island off Siracuse which used to be Siracuse but isn’t nowπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ. I have information overload which means I haven’t retained anything from today! We went to the archeology site on Siracuse where I did sea a theatre which was all decked up because from May to July they perform plays there. Two tragedies and one comedy. And I saw a roman amphitheatre which I learned is two theatres put together! Amphi meaning double or something like that. We then went down to Ortigio and wandered round there. All in all a very nice day and now I’m sat here!

Whispering cave
This is what it looks like when it’s not being used for performances !
Catacombs
Sacrificial alter for animals not humans. To please Zeus!
Amphitheatre!
Now into Ortigia 😊
And just to prove I am here! 🀣
Cathedral
The other half of our group on our boat trip round Ortigia
Is it a plane! Elephant, bear or raccoon!?
We ducked 45 degrees to get under here🀣
See what I mean! An island!

We’re having a three course meal this evening so I may post food photos later. If not I’ll be back tomorrow as have three towns to visit tomorrow😊
