Day 2 or is it really 3?

The night we arrived in Lipari was my sister's 44th birthday. So we lit candles and Andreas scooped what was her cake (it got a good beating while in the boat) into a bowl and we all sang happy birthday ...

The house is located two coves over from the old port. Up on the hill - overlooking a beach - with a great view of Vulcano and a distant Sicily.





view from the upstairs porch area:

It is quite a hike up and down - especially when it gets hot in the middle of the day. The stone beach is a bit much to walk on barefoot - but the water - the clarity of the water - makes it completely worth it.



Our breakfast:

So on our second day we ventured into town with Andreas' brother Sebastian and is son Anuk. After having a gelato I allowed Anuk to take some pictures ... which later involved me letting Mia take some when we got home ...















We attempted to go to the museum ...

Regina and Mia hike up to the museum ... it was closed.













Then opted for Gelato :

Pastries at this one shop we always went to - Subba.

And saw a couple sites along the way ..





















A map of the islands ...




Regina taught Mia the paparazzi gesture





When we returned home we got together for some dinner.

I opted to do the same thing on the other side ...
