Arrivederci al Prossimo Viaggio
... this issue. The hotel has a great rooftop terrace; the whole city was lit up before us, all of the sites we had just walked past. We had a drink outside; I tasted a Sicilian specialty Averna Amaro and loved it. This liqueur is made with herbs, roots, flowers, bark, and citrus peels soaked in alcohol, mixed with caramel, and aged in casks.

Having arranged to get picked up one station away at Campofelice, we head to the train station in plenty of time. The ticket office and bar ...
