Buongiorno Roma 22 hrs Later 

Terrasini (Palermo) Arrive 12.15pm local time 28 hrs later

Good Day Sunshine...we take a walk, the sun is shining down

View from our Hotel Florio
 Met  Bill & Jill from Wyoming at the airport who are also on the tour, a little anxious their bikes haven't arrived from Rome. Good to have a fluent speaker of Italian (Ross Jedi Master) very impressed how you handled the taxi drivers all vying for our business and how they could fit 5 bikes luggage and passengers into the fleet. (Imagine how much more they would have stitched us up without you)


Poolside Florio Hotel
What a beautiful town 7 klm from the airport and just outside Palermo.

I woke up just on Sunset and they had deserted me...













Beachside walk, lunch, swim, poolside snooze, sunset walk, evening dance party happening, a large group of French holidaymakers. All the boys missed this sunset at 8.01pm they are all asleep. 11.00 pm time for bed United win in Europe, big day tomorrow, sunrise 6.06am

Sunset from Hotel

Taxi fare E110 (7klm) no wonder they gave Garry a hug and kiss

Hotel Accommodation E45 Very Good
Coke E2.50, Ice cream Toblerone E3

Buona notte
