Sicily trip: Dec 22, 2008 - Jan 4, 2009

We left Viterbo on Monday, quite ready for the break. A train to Rome (2 hours), another train in Rome, a third train to Naples (2 hours), a walk to the port (we had very little stuff with us), an overnight boat to Palermo.



Off the ship in Palermo around 7 am, breakfast in a bar, walked to the Hertz office in town, left our bags there and went for a quick stroll around the center. This is Politeama, one of the two grand theaters in the center:



Then an early lunch -- couldn't resist sandwiches from a street vendor at the market -- then back to pick up our car, and off we go!
