I have just booked Sicily for October, flying from Manchester and wondered if anyone who has been on this holiday can tell me if there are tea making facilities in the hotels
Also any tips would be helpful
Many thanks Sue

Hi, I went on the first Sicily trip out this year. There were tea making facilities in the room in the last hotel, but not in my room in the others. It was a great holiday, and quite tiring on the feet, so make sure that you have good shoes. We visited many ancient greek and roman sites were the ground underfoot was uneven. I travelled out in lightweight hiking boots because I intended to go on the Etna trip, but was glad of them when visiting the sights and just kept my sandals handy on the bus to change into later. If you go to Etna, make sure that you have enough money with you to pay for the cable car, as it was about 60 euro's (I think) on top of the Just You price to get right to the top. There are some really fantastic cathedrals and churches (the best of them you see on the Palermo day) to see but make sure that you pack something to cover up shoulders on those days. I really enjoyed the trip and hope you have a good time!

THANKYOU SO MUCH for all your information, I am looking forward to it more now, than last week. Sounds my type of holiday-walking and historic sites.
I will make sure I have enough Euros on me for Etna.
