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.
