Weekend in Messina, Sicily with Carlo's parents

Over the Valentine's weekend we travelled to Messina, Sicily for a quick visit with Carlo's parents and his brother. Of course we had chosen the weekend with THE worst weather of the entire winter in Sicily. Usually that doesn't mean much compared to Munich weather, but it turned out to be wet, cold and snowy! Yes, there was snow in the hills above the city and all he mountains on the other side in Calabria were covered! Wow! Nevertheless we had a nice time with the family, even though Carlo had indigestion and had to stay in bed on Saturday night... Not the Valentine's Day I had imagined.. ;-)



Behind me, the snowcovered hills of Calabria!

Looking towards Messina!

The light on the water was breathtakingly beautiful.
