We made it to Catania by 3:45 only to find that the church does not open until 4pm. Instead of walking around and giving us a tour (because the bus was too big to drive around) we waited for 20 minutes for it to open and did nothing! We ended up eating cannoli at the café across the street. We finally went in the church and it was beautiful and had old Greek columns that prove that it has been re-used many times during the centuries. We then decided that we wanted to go on the little blue train/trolley tour around the city. We argued with them for about 10 minutes before we left because they had originally told Giovanna that it would be 2 euros a person, and they wanted 3 euros (not like it was a huge deal, but it was the principal of the thing). Then we got on and they didn’t leave! Once we finally started moving we realized that the speakers were so loud that it was hard to understand what the girl was saying, then we realized that she was reading off a sheet of paper, and there was no way that she actually spoke English! We had no idea what we were seeing.
