Palermo at daylight - beautiful.
Slept good, even thought the apartment was a bit chilly for us peeps from cold estonia. But all in all having our own room and bathroom was far better than a few degrees more warmth :D And lets not forget freshly made orange juice and ofcourse Filippo too.
We managed to buy tickets for the bus (no machine -from people this time). Tried to find tourist information centre on the way to the city. I saw the sign from the bus window, so we got off the bus and went to look for it. Wasn't any tourist information centres but we found a bank where Karin could exchange her big euros into smaller ones and no words in english :D
Started walking towards the city centre, found a shop, bought smthg to drink. After a while we found a another squire and even a little place what at first sightning we thought was a tourist information but then decided against it (later it turned out to be the right place anyway- stupid us).
We walked around the city, saw some nice houses and took some pics. Had fun shopping (and it was the only time during the whole stay in Sicily). We were just relaxing and taking it slowly.
At some point we had to meet Davide in the front of theatre Massimo, but he was late again :P This time he came with Laurel again and Kadri - a girl from our own country Estonia.
It was a chill day - just walking around the city and sightseeing.
Filippo cooked pasta for us and after dinner he took us out and drove around the city and showed us some places we didn't see during the day.
Later that night back at home Karin and I opened a bottle of Martini Asti (really cheap over there) and just relaxed.
