Lipari
Began
the day with a bit of travel administrivia, and then to the port in
great excitement to catch our boat to Stromboli. OOPS- Stromboli
Canceled! Evidently the guide had rung to say that the climb was too
dangerous due to the wind. OK, we're not ones to argue with an
all-knowing-guide.
What
to do with our afternoon? The first stop was to the local fish
monger in the street for some more fresh fish for dinner tonight. We
were looking in his cart to see what he had and he produced a bag of
fresh (live) lobsters. As tempting as they looked we both decided
that we didn't have the guts to actually cook the living little
suckers in boiling water. Wimps!
This
afternoon we headed back to our lovely little beach for a few more
hours of sun and then home to cook up the fresh fish. Nic was again
the chef and it was was outstanding. We have eaten better then most
restaurants in the past weeks – the freshest produce that makes
cooking so much more fun.
