Arrived in Palermo via AiItalia airlines, thankfully both bike bags came off the baggage claim belt on time and in good shape! Successfully navigated the outskirts of Palermo onto our final destination of Mondello, with the help of our hand-held navigation system. What would we do without that tool?!
Hotel Palace Mondello is far from a "palace" but remember this is Sicily. It's old but clean with wonderfully friendly and helpful staff! Our evening meal was served in a small sidewalk cafe overlooking the Mediterranean Sea "kissing" the rugged coastline of the island. Hunter and I shared a seafood pasta dish with shrimp, mussels, and clams accompanied by crusty fresh Italian bread and grilled egg plant. A lovely white wine completed the dinner. Currently, while I am composing this blog, Hunter is assembling our tandem in our bedroom. Wish I could video this process, think you would be amazed at his skills, but then again he is doing this in his underwear so maybe a video would not be a good idea! Can we say a warm evening in Sicily?
