sicilian slow life

Sicily - Monday June 1, 2026

Fatti tranquilli, stili sicilianu...

Morning rituals, groceries, coffee, newspaper (La Gazzetta dello Sport) in Sciacca.

Lazing on the quiet Lido Sovareto beach in the afternoon.

Henk organized a Studio Tre dinner and we invited our fun and sweet hosts Jasmijn & Enzo, a beautiful Dutch-Sicilian couple. The pink Gazzetta newspaper we reused as placemats. We had a delicious meal, laughed a lot, and enjoyed this special evening together.

lapad bays, dubrovnik squares

Lapad Dubrovnik - Sunday 28th of April

Since we've enjoyed yesterday's blissful day so much, we will try to repeat the program today, however slightly different.

Slow start abundant breakfast on the terrace and updates by Henk in the drawing book, we grab our beach bag and beach mats.

We walk along the hiking trail of the Lapad peninsula and inspect a few suitable spots closely. Soon we settle down on the most beautiful private bay. Crystal clear turqoise sea water, rocks and small coves with half shade under the pine trees. Heavenly beautiful view, nevertheless not the most suitable place to elegantly enter the water, but we succeeded in that too.

Lunch on the rocks, swimming, sunbathing and chilling, perfect sunday sofar.

At the end of the afternoon a dip in the super cold pool and a little siesta at the pool.

Before our bus ride to Dubrovnik we visit our neighbor's gallery Flora and arrive just in time for the sunset in Dubrovnik.

Seafood dinner on Gundulić Square with mussels from Ston and small fried fish on blue-white striped chairs of Restaurant Buffet Kamenice.
