Catania - First Impressions


So after one week in Puglia, we packed our bags again und travelled to our next destination, Sicily. We wouldn't have chosen that destination on our own, because we didn't associate much with Sicily and weren't that interested in exploring that part of Italy, but since my parents were also on holiday on the island at that time, we decided to meet there and then travel back to Germany together. So we travelled to Catania first and then wanted to go by train to their holiday resort near Palermo.
For our first day in Catania I didn't have a specific sight in mind. We booked an hotel right in the city center and just wanted see the neighboorhood and historic heart of the city.
I think it is so much fun strolling around, exploring new territories  and not having that pressure of time. And our first impressions were so different from what we expected. We thought it would be similar to Naples, but that was wrong. The streets are super neat, as well as the many large squares, lined with pretty, historic houses and baroque churches and palaces. Nothing what you think of when hearing the name 'Catania'.

Outfits - Late Summer Evening (His & Her)


In late summer it could be more than 30 degrees at daytime, but can also be a little chilly at night. So you can already start to get used to wearing long clothes again. Even if you don't want to. I love to wear boyfriend jeans, because they are loosely fitted and you don't feel too "dressed". And if it gets warm anyhow, your pants don't get too clingy. Also the one-sleeve-trend is perfect for a late summer evening. Tim's favorite long trousers for the summer evenings became cargo pants and these dark beige coloured safari style ones couldn't be more summery.

Gallipoli again

New evening, new luck. And again in Gallipoli. But if you just want to stroll around, this city is super nice, because you can choose from so many restaurants and bars, you will always find a nice place to eat. And afterwards you can also do a little souvenier shopping and enoy the sea air.When we are by the sea, we always use the opportunity to eat a lot of seafood, as we did that evening too. And because there is also an ice cream parlor, which is open all night long, we took a dessert too.

Neuer Abend, neues Glück. Und wieder in Gallipoli. Aber das Städtchen ist schon ganz nett, mit einigen Restaurants, Bars und Geschäften. Also wenn man nur gechilled durch die Straßen laufen möchte, ist dies immer eine Option. Wenn man am Meer ist muss man es natürlich auch ausnutzen und so oft wie möglich frischen Fisch essen, was mir auch zuerst getan haben. Und da es eine Eiscafe gibt, die sogar bis mitten in die Nacht auf hat, dufte ein Nachtisch natürlich auch nicht fehlen.

They didn't know what to do ...

... so they walked around and took some outfitphotos by the beach. 
When you travel at the end of summer, it may not be as busy and packed with tourist, so you can enjoy everything so much more and don't always have to wait an hour to get ,for example, an icecream. On the other hand, you don't have parties or festivals each day. But we don't have the energy to party every night anyways.;) But even if you just go to a restaurant or just walk around aimlessly and just get a Crêpe, it is always fun to dress up every evening while on holidays.

 ... sind wir herumspaziert und haben ein paar Outfitfotosgemacht.
Wenn man am Ende des Sommers verreist, sind die Städte nicht mehr so vollgestopft mit Touristen, so dass man nicht mehr eine Stunde für ein Eis anstehen muss. Andererseits gibt es auch nicht mehr jeden Tag Veranstaltungen, so dass man sich manchmal mit einem Restaurantbesuch zufrieden geben muss. Trotzdem gehört es für mich im Urlaub einfach dazu, mich jeden Abend aufzubrezeln, auch wenn man wie wir an dem Abend einfach nur zum Crêpestand geht und dann am Strand ein paar Fotos macht.
