From Naples we caught the ferry overnight to Sicily (the trip takes about 10.5 hours) and our cabin was surprisingly large, though i did manage to flood the bathroom as our shower was broken.
We had 2 nights in Palermo (the major town in Sicily) staying at Giorgios House, a great bed and breakfast run by Giorgio, who was really friendly, though a bit crazy. On the frist night we were there he took everyone who was staying (us, a french couple and an american girl) out around the town and to a couple of local bars, the first where we got the most amazing fruit platters covered in granita (think fruit slushie) and the second place was packed with locals watching the first football game of the season (though things didnt go too well as Palermo lost to Roma).
The next day Giorgio was meeting his sister and her boyfriend to go to an island (levanzo) off the coast and asked us if we wanted to come. (See previous post for link to photos). It was a fantastic day, the water was crystal clear and despite the near 40 degree temperatures was quite cold. Also, they dont take speed limits too seriously, we spent most of the 1 hour drive doing 140kph.
