It is difficult for someone like me to stay at home for more than 5 months – even if there is a place like my “Wojtkówka”. The pandemic made distant travels still out of the question, so I decided to go at least to Europe. It was supposed to be two separate trips: the first to Latvia and Estonia, and the other to the Italian Aeolian Islands. Unfortunately, at the end of August, the Baltic states closed their borders to Poles. So I decided to extend my tour of Italy adding the Mezzogiorno, unknown to me. I am leaving tomorrow, intending to reach the end of the Italian “shoe” first, and then follow the eastern coast of Italy northwards – to the Apennines. Then a cheap flight will allow me to quickly move to Sicily and its volcanic islands – the details of the route can be seen on the map below.
