Sicily, Palermo - my impression? Chaos.
I heard a lot about the Sicilian way of driving. But experiencing it - it is completely different story.
Traffic - it just one big chaos. And funny thing in it - I felt like at home. You just need to drive the way that other will fill respect. I still used the indicators but others - no- you had to fill it where they want to go. Use your inner voice, intuition - whatever you want to call it. Another thing - people do not shout when driving and do not beep. Or maybe I had Michael Buble to laud ... Anyway ... it was nice change from what I remember from Milan and north part.
The other thing - parking. I was upset in Milan with the parking way - from time to time two cars in the line, it is very unusual if you get blocked. Here - it becomes a rule.
Streets - my buildings do not stand by the main roads. Someone planned them to have in remote areas with narrow roads. Especially for Gosia that she can use her new skill - driving in one car wide roads. Thanks God for the experience.
O Palermo ....
You are the city I can not concentrate at all.
a..... and coffee is stronger and cornetos taste better ... I love it ...
I totally forgot - my car got broken - not the whole one - but the the remote control (it looks that the battery got flat). Called Hertz and tried to explain - but the lady decided to change the whole car. So the whole morning was just about car. To catch the time I said no to proper lunch and had a sandwich made by a shop owner. A roll, cheese and olives - great staff.
Temperature amplitude: 20 degrees (Poland -6 Palermo +16) All around in winter coats (it is great place to buy such things) and Gosia in a jumper. It was a little bit windy - but other - perfect - blue sky, sun, a little bit of rain but not much ...
What a day ...
