After our flight from Catania tomorrow was cancelled during dinner tonight, we've now booked trains from Taormina to Messina, then Messina to Palermo, where we fly to Nice then back to Gatwick. Obviously the flights are expensive - but the 12 minute taxi ride from the hotel to the station early in the morning is going to be more expensive than the 4 hours of train ride to Palermo. Yikes.
