Because of the storm, the funicular was out of order for the rest of our holiday. That meant a lot of walking up the hill between Mazzaro’ and Taormina.
Hundreds of steps, but so worth it.

Even Totoro came out to enjoy the view.
As we arrived in Taormina we were welcomed by a big storm. One of those that will keep people talking until the next big one.
Everything got flooded.
We spent the first couple of days mopping up water, as it tried (and moslty succeed) to fill our rented apartment.
In spite of the storm we didn’t regret at all being there. The place was in a great position, perched on the hill facing the bay of Mazzaro’, the perfect spot to observe the changing weather.
The sun eventually made its come-back, and blessed us for the rest of the holiday.
