Hanging with the Mafia!
... bad weather! What a bugger! However it was planning to leave tomorrow night…. This threw our plans out slightly so we found an internet café to sort out what the hell we were going to do. We found a ferry that ran from Palermo (1.5 hours away from where we were in Trapani) to Genova (where we eventually needed to get to) in two nights time. This will have to do we thought!

A staircase and tight passageway (€2 entry) leads to a view over the cloisters (€6 entry) and entry to ...
Back in Cefalù
... a lift back to Cefalů for the day. The wind is up here and surfers are able to make the most of the waves. It's an enjoyable completing of our circuit of Sicily's west but hard to escape from.
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 ...
