Palermo - Cefalu - London
Via Chiavetteri (our apartment) in the morning - deathly quiet.
And at night … or should I say into the early hours of the morning … up to 5am!! Had our first night’s good sleep in Palermo as we moved into Olivia’s room which was off the street.
Checked-out of apartment and headed for coffee and pastries at our favourite cafe (only the two of us this time)
Then back to Cefalu for a few hours to cool off in 28 degrees. Sun was shining today unlike when we were there on Saturday.
No fear of being hit by a scooter or car in here!
Gotta love how they do business in Sicily - the street is as good as any retail shop!
Then it was time to check-out a swimming spot. This looks pretty good … and the water temperature was great!
A great way to spend our last day in Sicily!
Overall thoughts on Palermo, not including Mondello and Cefalu.
Palermo is the best and the worst of Italy; extremely diverse with poverty and wealth, dirty in places, vibrant, exciting, organic, authentic, rustic and full of history and cultural traditions, and a haven for foodies and beer and wine drinkers! At times an ‘assault on the senses’, but we loved it!! 😍
Sitting at airport waiting for flight back to London. Ciao!
