We caught the Palermo-Cagliari ferry and, since the journey takes 13 hours, we took a cabin. What luxury! It has always seemed to me that there's nothing like going to sleep whilst you're travelling; it feels like cheating somehow - but cool for all that. Happily the sea was calm and so the crossing was uneventful. We drove off the ferry at 9 in the morning and we were at Vallermosa and Marilena's mum's house by coffee time.
A few days later our son Simon, Candy and the children joined us for a week, as did Marilena's brother and sister. So we were a lively household of ten for the duration. At the weekend there was a festival in the village with a focus on traditional crafts and the opportunity to visit many of the older houses which are kept as 'museums.' It was great to meet up with family in such an enjoyable setting.
