Breakfast in Sicily

We are staying at a lovely hotel, Hotel Feudo Vagliasindi (www.feudovagliasindi.it/) just outside of a medieval town of Randazzo. There is nothing around here except vineyards and olive groves, with a stunning view of Mt Etna from the terrace in the front and of surrounding hills with some houses.  When you wake up in the morning and look out from the window, this is what you see, and all you hear is birds singing.  You don't even hear the sounds of vespa going up and down the streets or sirens of police cars as you would do in bigger towns and cities in Italy. Just peaceful and relaxing.

Having breakfast with a stunning view of Mt. Etna.

We have some croissants dusted with white sugar with selection of strawberry or apricot jam, but last few mornings I have been having it with Nutella. We also have some selections of fruits such as peaches, pears, purple and dark red grapes as well as blue plums and apples. This morning I had mango yoghult instead. There are abundance of fresh fruits available everywhere yet Italian do not seem to have fresh fruit juices for breakfast and they tend to serve diluted juices.  I have tried this lime-green juice but I have not figured it out what it is .... And of course, we both have cappuccino!

Have a nice day!
