Cefalu

The trip to Cefalu was one of those just kinda unpleasant travel ordeals. We left our Amsterdam apartment at 7 AM and arrived in Palermo about 4 with the usual delays in leaving and in our connection in Milan. Then there was the car rental where we just went ahead and gave them ALL the money we have in the world and drove off into Palermo 5PM traffic and got to Cefalu about 6. The apartment is not nearly the hit of the one in Amsterdam but I think it will grow on us. We wandered around trying to find the apt rental office using possibly the worst map ever drawn to report NO hot water and some small things like no kitchen towels and to pay the remainder of what we owed. Nice, typical Sicilian town, good dinner and that was that. Today we found that the "Bar" beneath our apt makes a great cappuccino and next to it is a wine store that also is a tiny restaurant....you tell them in the AM that you want to have dinner there and they make something. So that's where we'll have dinner tonight. We explored the town today and just had a nice kick back sort of day. I have to come into town to use the internet so it may be that the posts will be a bit infrequent.
Our building is the one below the lighthouse (Il faro.) I have no idea who this guy is that walked into my picture.A nice view from the townAnother nice view through an old town gate out to the Mediterranean.
