February 2005A week in Sicily visiting the land of wine lemons and the GodfatherDelayed by an unfortunate accident shortly after leaving Paestum on the coast where we had spent the previous night we didnrsquot get to Sicily on Monday as previously planned but camped few miles short to await the morning ferry. Stopped in traffic in the main street http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Sicily/Palermo/blog-432703.html Apologies to the song's artists....Well despite my last minute rush and the storm through central Florida I made it to Orlando airport and now sit in Detroit awaiting the departure to Roma. Thanks Gordon for the photo glimpse of the Amalfi Coast. I am so glad this arrived on Monday and not sooner. Otherwise I would have really been a difficult one awaiting this day. Thanks sis for hangin http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Sicily/Palermo/blog-416240.html Just getting ready sooooo ready for the big trip I will update the blog as I can and internet is available while I am gone but wanted you to know you can share in my trip. I leave July 7..... http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Sicily/Palermo/blog-409618.html Herersquos a very belated and sort of abbreviated account of my Easter trip to Sicily last month. Easter in Sicily was certainly an experience I will not forget. I was very lucky to get to experience Sicily within the context of a large and exuberantly welcoming Sicilian family who immediately opened themselves and their home up to me. It was a warm but easy sense of welcome without any huge g http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Sicily/Palermo/blog-399919.html What ho and top of the morning to all feeling chipper as just back from a great gym workout. I really must keep this up when I get back famous words...... I think over 60's get good gym deals as there aren't many applicants or perhaps survivors. I'll need to fill the time up somehow.

I think there's mo http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Sicily/Palermo/blog-388174.html Tuesday was an at sea day so we were able to relax on ship and take in some of the activities offered. The ship is very nice and in comparison to other ships we have been on the Brilliance of the Seas has a much different layout. Even though the ship was sold out it feels like most of the passengers are staying in their rooms. We both entered the slot tournament but only Lisa made it to the final http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Sicily/Palermo/blog-387335.html Cioa Tutti Oggi io sono stanco perche io ho viagato a Palermo Sicily esta settimana.

Friday morning we headed out a http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Sicily/Palermo/blog-381972.html There was a long free weekend December 5 through the 8th. We had Friday off like normal and we also had Monday off because it was an Italian holiday. Though I have no idea what holiday it was I went with many other people for a few days to Sicily to see the far south of Italy. I left on Thursday night for the train station because I was planning to spend the night in the airport along with so http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Sicily/Palermo/blog-364694.html A few years ago I was left with a few extra days in Sicily due to a break in travel arrangements. Two cities that I decided I must see with the extra time were lta hrefhttpvfcstraveldestinations.blogspot.com200801vfcstraveldestinationcorleonesicily.htmlgtCorleoneltagt and Palermo.

We were able to explore several Greek temples overlooking the Mediterranean outside of the city. It was spectacular It is truly amazing that such structures could remain fairly intact after 2000 years After hiking around the ruins we were able to http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Sicily/Palermo/blog-349177.html 04 Oct 2008With a bit of forehand experience of the A19 and other roads our trip across to Palermo was quicker and easier than the drive out. Kylie's sense of direction worked pretty well even in the traffic madness in the older part of Palermo that we had to traverse to get into the port area possibly almost as bad as Naples. At the port thanks to the magic words Maggiore rental we got pa http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Sicily/Palermo/blog-334661.html Aprs 1 dbut d'anne sur les chapeaux de roue notre activit voyageuse s'tait srieusement ralentie part qques jours passs Rome au mois d'aot.

In keeping with ancient Paul tradition lack of planning would feature heavily throughout the journey.We got off the tra http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Sicily/Palermo/blog-327946.html Well since Iceland Irsquove had a busy couple of months. My trip to Italy has been and gone and I loved it and over the coming blogs by the photos you will be able to see why. I originally thought I would only need one for the whole Italy trip but due to over 1000 photos taken that made that a little ambitious But first things first a week after Iceland I moved into a new flat with ori http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Sicily/Palermo/blog-327898.html Roaming along the various beaches and coastline of Sicily and southern Italy sampling the local cuisine all made with the freshest produce and offering endless gelato icecream flavours stopping only to take a swim or take shelter under a tree from the hot sun whilst looking through ancient ruins which have captivated mankind for hundreds of years.

We passed two days in Palermo and walked a good bit of the central and port areas. We woke up early to make it to the Cappuchin Catacombes. It was basically a crypt with preserved bodies and skeletons everywhere. Most of them were skeletons bu http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Sicily/Palermo/blog-278652.html evening allright last entry from palermo and thought i might as well take advantage of the free net access for the last time as 2mo we head for the deep south of italy mazara del vallo and we are staying on a campsite so im pretty sure they wont have net access there 2day we had another ace day the weather was amazing again and i was in my shorts and kerry looking like a true brit abroa http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Sicily/Palermo/blog-268995.html
