I&#8217;ve been to Sicily many times, but this is my first time here.<\/p>\n<p>While Pythagoras provided more theoretical insights and taught me how to live wisely, Archimedes embodies the inventor, the experimenter, the one who becomes smarter through trial and error: Eureka! \u2013 Even in Greece, there were Archimedes museums (which I visited) at tourist hubs, which use replicas to recreate the technical understanding of that time: creativity is literally within reach&#8230; Now here too, in Syracuse, where battles were fought and history was written. But modern Syracuse is a rather posh affair, at least on the spur, the small peninsula that juts out into the sea. So much hidden luxury, I marvel. At the harbour, the boats of the rich, including the sleek toy of a successful porn website operator, a brilliantly dignified speedboat over 20 metres long with six huge outboard motors, all in beguiling white!<\/p>\n<p>I visit the archaeological sites, the museums, the markets, the whole sprawling city (on my scooter) and fill up the ArgoFram. I have a good relationship with the harbour master named Dino and his team, who are all very customer-oriented. The photo shows me with Gaetano, Dino&#8217;s deputy \u2013 we actually wanted to have a photo of the three of us together, but shortly before the appointment, Dino caught his hand while mooring a boat and had to go to the emergency centre. It didn&#8217;t look good. Everyone shows sympathy&#8230; life goes on. I also move on, get in, even though it&#8217;s windy and bumpy outside. I drive on, as far south in Sicily as possible, as close to Malta as possible, before I cross over.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4019,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-begegnungen-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
