The Journey Home — Day 11 — Sciacca Sicily

The trip to Sciacca got off to a rocky start as the van that was to take us failed to start. After about a 45 minute wait a new vehicle arrived and off we went for the roughly one hour drive. During the trip from Palermo, we were treated to excellent views of the coast, mountains and hills and valleys. 

 

As it was a Sunday, it’s hard to know the daily weekday activity. While we were there it was pretty quiet with most of the shops closed. But we did find a lovely place for gelato and of course a spritzer and pastry. It was a real steep walk down the steps to the sea, and much much harder coming up for sure. All that being said, it turned out to be a relaxing day, which by this time in the trip was welcomed.

We got back in time to visit the Duomo in Palermo before dinner. Needless to say, one more beautiful church in Italy.
