Lazy days in Catania

Today was my lazy day. I got up and went to the castle on the south east side of the city. The castle was at one point built overlooking the ocean but a large eruption from Etna caused lava to flow down burying Catania and surrounding the castle and expanding the coastline. The castle is now a very cool museum.

After that I walked down to the port which was not very nice. The train runs right along the coast so its all fences and train tracks.

 I got back to the hostel around 130 ate lunch did some research on Taormina, Stromboli and Palermo and waited out the thunderstorm.
Tomorrow I am going to Taormina to explore the town and hit the beach.
