A Sicilian tuk tuk - the only way to reprovision


 Whizzing along the backstreets of Siracuza. Wind zipping our hair. Sharing a plank on the back of a Sicilian taxi (!) with two others is a wonderful test of nerve and humour. It's basically a motorbike with a bench seat for passengers. No matter Thailand or Sicily, it's a rite of passage for sure. Giovanni wove us through rush hour traffic, swerving to avoid major potholes, pedestrians, dogs and lamposts. Cornering is best, roundabouts a close second. We arrived in style at Lidl's, filled the 'boot' with food, collected laundry on the way back to port, had a thoroughly great time. Giovanni accepted the cold beer and took  this photograph of us. It was a wild ride - we'd do it all again in a flash :)
