Sorry Dina

I seem to remember posts last year, one poster may have had a login very similar to yours.

The thread concluded that it wasn't possible to get from Sardinia to Sicily. My wife bought me the book "Vroom by the sea" for Christmas and Peter Moore, the author, managed to get a ferry from Cagliari to Palermo.

Ps the drive back from Noto to Siracusa is very easy, even by Sicilian standards. The road is straight and I think you may pass through a couple of small towns.

. I remember we had a nightmare in Avola just chaotic roads system and roads. Had problems with Ragusa and Modica, both have upper new towns and lower old towns.

We have reservations to stay at Villa Ducale, but just realized our flight doesn't arrive in Catania until 11pm. So we're thinking we'll be lucky to arrive at villa ducale before midnight!

My questions-- please help!

Will restaurants in town still be serving dinner?

Can we get a meal at a bar?

Should I switch to a hotel in town -- possibly Hotel Belvedere -- not sure if it will be difficult to get a taxi or if the villa ducale shuttle will still be available?

I'm so disappointed to lose "an evening" enjoying the town.

Appreciate any advice !!
