Day 1 (23rd September 2007) Transfer by minibus from the hydrofoil at Messina to your bed&breakfast in the coastal city of Milazzo.

Day 2 Visit to Messina to the piazza Duomo to see one of the worlds largest astronomical clocks, complete with its working models of animals, angels and legendary figures; lunch in the nearby village of Ganzirri. Fresh-water mussels from Lake Ganzirri are the local speciality (but other dishes are also available); an afternoon cookery lesson on typical Sicilian dishes.

Day 3 The Aeolian Island of Vulcano. Swimming and sun-bathing on the black volcanic sands, and a boat trip round the island. Lunch in Lipari, the largest of the islands, with time to stroll around, shop or visit the Aeolian Museum.

Here, everything around you – from rocks and plants to the sounds and perfumes of nature - breathe out dynamic energy, a vast "energy bank" (as Jalari has been called). Before the evening meal, you will have the chance to learn about what handwriting can show of a person, with a general introduction and personal readings.
