We are staying two nights in the town of Ortiga. It is actually a small island which is the historical center of the city of Syracuse, Sicily. We took a short walk and go on a longer tour tomorrow. Ortiga was a Greek city until the Romans captured it. It was heavily bombed in World War II. The allied forces worked their way north after landing in Ortiga.
Our tour group seems to be quite compatible. Our guide is excellent and the bus we travel on is very comfortable. The pace of this Rick Steves tour is nice. It has some "down time". Since we are in Italy, food and our group dinners are highlights of the tour. - Nancy
