SICILY, CEFALU, APRIL 26

After breakfast we said goodbye to our wonderful host and boarded the bus for the drive to Cefalu.


After the necessary pit stop we reached Cefalu. Vito our bus driver dropped us off just outside the old town requiring us to walk in to where the two hotels were located. Here the group was divided into the hotels. After much "buggering about" we eventually got our rooms. Barry and I were shacked up at the Casonova Bed & Breakfast minus the love making. We met outside for a group "walkabout". The Cathedral was somewhat disappointing due to internal renovations. We walked down to the seafront and eventually found our way back to the hotel.


"Tonight you are mine"





"Did you bring soap powder?"




Barry's Angels





Walking around makes one thirsty so a group of us headed back to the Cathedral Square for refreshments.


What do you know? It was now time to return to the Square at Cathedral Coffee for pre-dinner drinks!


It is becoming monotonous to say but once again Tom took us for another superb dinner. At the Kentia Restaurant where we sat on the patio to watch the sunset. Unfortunately at the last stage it slipped behind the clouds.




Our meal consisted of pasta, fish, salad and cake. The fish was mackerel and was delicious. The cake celebrated Sheila's Birthday.

I managed a final shot of the sunset

Location: 90015 Cefalù, Province of Palermo, Italy
