When we arrived at Catania airport, it was later than scheduled. This was because of a technical issue with the air bridge to our plane back in Manchester. Once we had collected our bags, we headed to the "Jet 2 Holidays" meet-up point and there we were greeted with surprising enthusiasm by Maria our Milanese holiday rep and a local taxi driver called Luigi. We were the only air passengers heading down to Arenella tonight so we had the rather luxurious grey Audi taxi to ourselves. No dropping other holidaymakers off from a coach. We just whizzed along like VIP's. Maria and Luigi had been happy to see us simply because they had been waiting so long and now they could see an end to Friday.
The hotel had arranged cold platter dinners for us which was unexpected given our late arrival. Also at the reception we booked bus tickets into Syracuse for tomorrow afternoon.
