So there is a gelateria approximately 45 seconds walk from our front door. And according to Eileen, who knows about these things, it is unsurpassed in her experience.
One scoop of lemon, and one of caramel, if you’re interested.
We’re staying right in Quattro Canti (4 corners where the 4 quadrants of the old town meet). It’s normally crazy busy, especially when the cruise ships are in, but first thing in the morning it’s ours.
And Palermo keeps on delivering. Guide book says it is best to visit this tiny church in the morning – opening hours are 10 – 1.00 😂. Worth it.
On the way back passed the church with the yellow dome that we can see from our terrace so popped in.
And the obligatory rooftop walk
Monreale
A short bus ride of about 5 miles into the hills. On a clear day you can see Palermo🌞.
And another amazing cathedral.
And we haven’t yet done the Royal Palace which is meant to be the highlight!
