The last couple of days we spent in Palermo, Sicily's capital city. And what a city it proved to be - we loved it! Lively and full of interesting streets, squares and markets. Good for clothes shopping too! I bought two pairs of jeans and a couple of shirts so I could look decent when we arrived in Marilena's village in Sardinia.
The campsite was located by the sea just outside the town and happily near the railway station. It was situated (like several others we encountered on the trip) in an olive grove. Despite these advantages it suffered from an excess of mosqitoes. However by now we were pretty expert in keeping them out of the awning and van and so they didn't cause the trouble they had earlier in the holiday.
On the second day we met up with our friends Enzo and his twin brother, Carlo. They took us for a tour of their favourite spots in the city with a focus on cafes and street food. This was great fun and we were dlighted to let them show us round their home town.
