Our final days in Lipari were without internet, but here's a quick catch-up (I'm writing this from Milan).
The weather was perfect and we were able to catch the ferry to the island of Salina, the greenest of the islands that make up the Isole Eolie group and the second in size to Lipari. Spent a few hours wandering the Santa Marina beachfront area, with views out to the islands of Panarea and Stromboli. There are a number of villages around the island and hopefully we will return and spend a day or two visiting and dipping in the beaches.
Back in Lipari, we spent the last couple of days indulging in our favourite island activities - walking, eating, swimming! - and we shared a wonderful dinner with Nicole and Armando (who own the apartments where we stayed) and their daughter Chloe. The morning we left, there was a parcel on our doorstep...biscotti treats from our favourite pasticceria for the long train ride to Milan...that just-baked-biscuit scent made me smile every time I opened my backpack!
And so, it's 'Ciao, Lipari'...but only till next time...

Walking, eating, swimming - sounds pretty good. Those beach shoes, what a blessing they would have been.

Didn't know that Sketchers made water booties?
The doorways are my favorite images - the details, shapes, colours and textures.
With the service fee that some AirBnB's charge a package of treats on the doorstep should be mandatory!
The Italians truly are civilized.
