Day 001, getting around Taormina

Buongiorno a tuti,
After a quiet night sleep - diagonaal welliswaar, gelukkig in dubbel bed - i got up in the morning to meet with Evy, my lovely chief hostess, to drive from hotel to hotel to do the welcome meetings with the freshly arrived guests. Al zeg ik het zelf: we make a great team. We did make it to almost al rendez-vous hours in time, had nice chats with all the guests and sold excursions pretty well for a first day. Our number 1 excursion is "Visit Etna", we've got 11 out of about 25 guests to join us to visit vulcano Etna (3323m) and the Alcantara Canyon. I promised 2 families with kids that we are going to build a snowman on top of the Vulcano. that really works as a sales trick, but i'll have to really do it too. I hope they'll help me out. that reminds me, i have to buy a big carrot the fix his nose! i'll get a picture, don't worry.
So tomorrow, it's Vulcano day! really looking forward to it.
Things are going great so far, the hotel where i'm staying for now is ok. i'll definetly get a motorbike (50cc) to get around in Taormina ( = my zone), cause traffic allready is dence and finding a parkingspot is impossible in these narrow streets.
Didn't had time to find an appartment so far, but what the hell, i'm fine in Hotel Ariston ****.
And my german and italian collegues have been advised to look out for any available places. so i'm not alone searching. Tomorrow i won't have time to buy a simcard with italian phone number, but maybe the day after.

Laat maar iets van jullie horen
Buonanotte, a domani

blijkbaar een iets moeilijker start dan verwacht? ondertussen al een kamer of appartement gevonden, en de scooter al uitgestest?
wij hebben drukke dagen, overdag net zoals jij gaan werken, en s'avonds naar gent opa bezoeken, en opa doet het goed, nu te volgen op de familieblog...
ik zal proberen om je blog dagelijks bij te houden maar beloofd zeker gedurende de weekends zal ik hem lezen en kommentaren.
