Sicily A report from Andalucia, July 2017

Recently a disable friend (in wheelchair) wanted to spend a weekend in Palermo (without hiring a car as sometimes the person who accompanies him does), and I guess he missed some places like Monreale. I scheduled a two week holiday which I spent in the very south of Italy and on the Island - travelling by train. You were very brave (*). The sicilian railways have poor fame (slow and unfrequent), apparently the locals prefer buses. (*) or are you a railway fan ? I was 24, "poor" and with zero experience of driving on the wrong side of the road, and IME (as a pedestrian) Italy is not the best choice of county to change that - I have still never driven there. thanks |
