Glorious return to Sicily

 It's been 12 years since we were last in Sicily ...

We have returned, however unlike almost everyone in history we are not intending (at this stage) to conquer the Island, but rather to feast our eyes on its glory, and our mouths on grilled vegetables & wine (bring on the pasta alla Norma )

We were rudely awakened at 05:30 hours (I can neither confirm nor deny that, left to ourselves, we may have been sleeping in just a little past that time) by our alarm, to get to an 07:55 flight

Paolo and Valentina at Il Borgo B&B, Cagliari left us a beautiful breakfast and arranged for a taxi, we were thru customs and having (another) coffee by 06:45, after our previous airport security experience ( STILL TOO SOON TO TALK ABOUT ... looking into therapy when we return .. I hope our travel insurance covers psychological trauma ) we decided to pay extra for fast security clearance.

As we are in an apartment we are looking forward to a few meals at home. 

We arrived in Palermo Airport, and got a bus to Trapani, currently about 100m from the harbour, and 50m from the old town. Had a quick explore, but heading out soon for passigiata.
