    Love the look of Catania! We travel full time (also Canadians) and I'm starting to look at Sicily as a destination. Not sure what area would suit us, so the research begins lol. We've subscribed so that we can follow along on your adventures. Cheers :)

    I love that he got it right the first time calling it an arancino, then went back and corrected himself, incorrectly, calling it arancini. Fantastic.

      🤦‍♂️total fail..I'll keep trying, 😂. Thanks for watching. Cheers 🍻, Jim and Chris

    Sicily was such an amazing experience. The city of Catania surprised me with all it's beauty.

    Hello Chris and Jim, it's Silvio from Catania. Casually I grabbed your video and as Catania citizen you made me flattered, so I want to thank you for your footage and for have shoutted out my city wich live inside my heart.
    Secondary, sadly, in another hand you have disappointed me.... You mustn't eat chocolate cannolo without before have tasted that with ricotta! Only that is the original 😄😄.
    Anyway, kidding aside, I suggest you to taste even granita with brioche (realle is this one the traditional sicilian breakfast, mostly in summer season).
    You're very nice couple. I wish you unforgettable vacation and all the best!

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  Před 3 měsíci

      Thank you so much for your lovely comments… we actually tried both, but that one was the one we filmed! Thank you for watching 🙏 cheers Chris and Jim

    I've never been to Sicily before. Italy is high on the list of places. Catania looks pretty nice!

    Sicily is on my bucket list for Italy. Catania looks interesting, where else did you see in Sicily?

  • @janicegraham3425

    Thank you for mentioning the price of the taxi, we wont be surprised if we do end up getting a taxi.

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  Před měsícem

      Thanks for watching! Yes it’s always good to know what to expect. The people were very friendly and it’s a very historical city 💕

  • @JefitoBazanella
    @JefitoBazanella Před 2 měsíci

    €30 is standard set price from the airport. He only raised it by five which is common if you don’t know the price ahead of time

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  Před 2 měsíci

      Ok thanks, we weren’t sure. It’s pretty steep though compared to the rest of Sicily while we were there. We loved our visit! Everyone was amazing 🫶 cheers 🥂 Chris and Jim!

    You went in February? It seems so warm outside

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  Před 3 měsíci

      Hello, no we were there mid November. We are a bit behind on our editing. But it was amazing in mid November until December when we left. Thank you for watching, Cheers 🍻 Chris and Jim

    @joehowarth8093 Před 3 měsíci

    Up charge on the taxi more than likely was because of the time…at night it cost more..but you’re on vacation….

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  Před 3 měsíci

      This is possible, but 35 Euros is pretty spendy when we paid considerably less everywhere else for much longer rides. Yes we are on vacation but still hope to pay a fair price. But we loved Sicily and luckily this was the only time we felt we overpaid. 😊

    Glad you didn’t show the stereotypical Hollywood view of Sicily, where everyone is a mafioso and dirt poor. Ignorance is not a bliss. Thank you! ❤

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  Před 11 dny

      We love to show what we see. It's a beautiful place and we enjoyed out time. We will be back soon for sure!
