After we left the French Riviera, our cruise ship sailed down to Tunisia in Africa. Due to high winds, the captain felt it unsafe to dock in the bay, therefore, we had to skip Tunisia, which was disappointing.
But, we set sail for our next destination Palermo, Sicily. There we toured the seaside village of Cefalu. Our tourguide said many times that they were Sicilian and NOT Italian.
We toured the village. I saw the sights, while Amanda got to shop. We both enjoyed Sicilian pizza and gellato before heading back to our ship.
After a 30 minute drive from Palermo, we arrived at the small seaside village of Cefalu

Inside…I quickly realized that Sunday mass was getting ready to start
Small entrance ways down to the beach
Local fisherman fixing their fishing nets
This medieval town had a “wash room” setup where a small river was diverted to flow through the center of town. The towns people would bring their clothes here to wash.
One thing to try in Italy is the gelato
Strolling down the town’s streets…
Leaving Sicily…the port (town) is Palermo
Enjoying some white wine as we leave Sicily….
