Highlights of My Sicilian Sailing Trip 34
What a concept - learning Italian on a sailboat!!! In May of 2007 I did just that: with 4 other Italian students I boarded the Solitaire II, a 4-cabin sailboat, to study Italian sailing through the beautiful Eolian Islands of Sicily. We were in the capable hands of Francesco, our captain, and Franco, a gifted guitar player, both of them teachers from the Laboratorio Linguisitico Italian Language School in Milazzo, Sicily. We spent a whole week sailing through gorgeous places such as Lipari, Salina, Stromboli, Panarea and Vulcano, and we had Italian lessons on the boat or in various outdoor bar patios on different islands overlooking the Mediterranean. Here is a tiny selection of clips from a trip of a lifetime.

At the border town of Tarvisio we turned left and started heading towards the border with Slovenia since we wanted to go hiking in the Slovenia Alps. We made a quick stop at the Predil Lake, a gorgeous Alpine Lake with enchanting turquoise and green waters. Then we headed further up the mountain and showed our passports at the border crossing with Slovenia. Unfortunately the engine of our car overheated and we had to call off our mountain excursion. Instead we decided to drive back to Italy and take the cable car to the top of Monte Lussari, a peak in the Northern Italian Alps, just south of Tarvisio. Once arrived at the top we walked around the summit area and explored the little mountain top village which features a medieval church and several restaurants with outdoor patios that provide phenomenal mountain vistas. We enjoyed a hearty lunch and spent some more time at the summit before we took another cable car down into the valley and drove to Tarvisio to do some vegetable shopping in this Italian town. Crossing the border between Austria and Italy was interesting for me because there are absolutely no border controls between these two European Union countries, you simply drive ...From:travelandtransitionsViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:15More inTravel Events
