We recently took a day off our farm near Noto and got on the bus to Modica. This whole south east region was destroyed by an earthquake in the 1600's and several cities were rebuilt in grand baroque style. The day commenced chatting to several over zealous taxi drivers at the bus stop explaining the multitude of their services and handing us a 'business' card at the end (piece of scrap paper with name and number scribbled on it) promising us 'buon prezzo'(good price) and lasting friendship.
Once we arrived the first stop for Sarah was finding the famous chocolatier (http://www.bonajuto.it/en/). We didn't mind being subject to the sales assistant's enthusiasm who ensured we left having tasted everything in the store. Highlights included chocolate liquer served in edible chocolate glasses, a beef/chocolate dumpling and vanilla flavored chocolate.
