Ahh Sicilia. What a great place. We expltored a bit more and ended up at an archiological museum. They had a lot of Egyptian and Greco-Roman artifacts. There were even some ancient cave drawings. We went down to the water again and hung out there for a while. Palermo is not huge so we took our time and pretty much saw everything there was to see. The only interesting thing to note was the gradual disintigration of my backpack. It first started in the airport in London. I put my bag on the x-ray and it came out with the hip buckle broken. I filed a complain but little did I know it was the least of my troubles. I jury-rigged the hip strap back together but in the musem the whole thing broke. While walking around one of the shoulder strap clips broke. I tied it up to another clip higher on the strap and of course that broke...along with the other shoulder strap. At that point my mission was to get through the day and possibly find another backpack. We browsed through some more markets and were unsuccessful. I drowned my failure in gelatto. Que sera. Anyway, I got to the train station with my bag, for the most part, functioning. The train was really cool. If you know your geography you know that Sicilia is not connected to the main part of Italy. One would assume there would be a bridge. Silly you... they loaded the train onto a ferry! We sailed across the 3 or so mile strech on the train on a boat. On the other side it took us the rest of the way to Napoli. It was a sleeper train so we got comfy in the pull out beds and slept. See you in the morning. Napoli and Capri tomorrow! Very exciting
Ciao
